From fruit eating bats to smart chimpanzees, from moles in their holes to seals in the seas, Dr. Seuss famous Cat in the Hat takes young readers on a fun-filled tour of the world of mammals.
This title forms part of a series of books that takes a look at natural history through a fun combination of Seussian rhymes and zany illustrations. Aimed at beginning readers from four to seven years old the books are designed to bridge the gap between concept books written for preschoolers and more formal non fiction titles that require fluent reading skills.

Theodor Seuss Geisel better known to his millions of fans as Dr. Seuss was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing childrens books, which included the creation of the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, which went on to become the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
