School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 3-Fans of Dr. Seuss's favorite feline will enjoy learning through rhymed couplets and cartoonlike illustrations similar to the originals. Each book combines basic facts with interesting trivia to introduce readers to topics that are sure to be of interest. From Bugs: "Here is a riddle/I learned from my mother./How's a skunk and a ladybug/like one another?/When danger is near,/it is easy to tell-/they suddenly give off/a terrible smell!" While the grammar is off, Seussian rhyme is rarely totally correct ("thunk"). In Space, readers learn, "On Venus the weather/is always the same-/hot, dry, and windy,/with no chance of rain." The familiar format and entertaining text are sure to appeal to beginning readers.-Maura Bresnahan, Shawsheen School, Andover, MA (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
The Cat in the Hat and Things One and Two take Sally and Dick on a tour of our solar system. Barely any useful information about the planets and stars is conveyed in the clunky rhyming verse, which is accompanied by art in the style of Dr. Seuss. Beginning readers may be encouraged by the easy-to-read text, but those looking for facts should search elsewhere. Bib., glos., ind. From HORN BOOK Fall 2000, (c) Copyright 2010.
