Age Group: Kindergarten-Year 1

I rate this book: 8/10

Summary:

The book is about a girl called Molly who lives on a farm close to the Mysterious Ancient Forest. One day she’s walking through the Forest when suddenly she spots an egg and takes it home to look after it. The egg hatches and she names it the ‘Dogasaurus Rex’. Molly takes care of it like her pet and she feeds it and teaches the Dogasaurus lessons like “sit Rex, good boy!” and “Rex, shake”. Molly also teaches him to round up the animals on the farm. Rex also eats a lot of food.

Weeks go by and Rex grows bigger, and bigger and bigger. He was getting way too big for the farm. He plays chase with Molly, hide and seek, and also gets the farm animals crazy!

One day Molly sees Rex staring at the Mysterious Ancient Forest, what will she do?

Age: 2-8 (Kindergarten)

Author: Dr Seuss

Rating: 9/10

Summary

The Cat in the Hat is about two kids who are home alone having a very dull day because of a storm. While looking out the window thinking “what to do, what to do?”Just at THAT moment a cat with a red and white hat popped out, giving them fun and entertainment , inside their boring old house. They were wondering how is he so funny, and entertaining? Once their parents were home what would happen to The Cat in the red and white hat?

This is a rhyming, and funny book. The cat in the hat was written by Dr.Suess and he makes peculiar, and funny rhyming books for kids. Altogether this is an amazing book and i recommend it to all kids of any ages.
