Author Notes
THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL--aka Dr. Seuss--is one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time. From The Cat in the Hat to Oh, the Places You'll Go! , his iconic characters, stories, and art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into thirty languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss's long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors for McElligot's Pool , If I Ran the Zoo , and Bartholomew and the Oobleck , the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody.

Horn Book Review
Unfortunately, the silly and serious questions posed by the Cat in the Hat will entertain and challenge readers only the first time around. A couple of cultural questions that seem less than sensitive by today's standards are, nevertheless, relatively inoffensive. From HORN BOOK 1993, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus Review
Considering the deliberate (by this time, dogged) zaniness of the illustrations, kids might well be disappointed to find, when they turn to the answer pages, that these aren't riddles; both questions and answers are straight, if often silly. They include some tricks (What was George Washington's favorite TV program?), some true-false (Only redheads can wiggle their ears), some vocabulary (what do they call one-eyed glasses? a one-wheel bicycle?), a couple of mazes (which turtle will get to the Pizza Parlor first?), some plain facts (how old do you have to be to be a Boy Scout? Girl Scout? President? Japanese?) and plain nonsense (are there a few ducks on the moon?). . . . It doesn't take much smarts to answer them and it couldn't have taken much to put them together. We can see bored kids or desperate teachers picking this up, but the whole thing makes about as much sense as ducks on the moon. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
