The Cat in the Hat takes place on a cold, wet day with two kids who are waiting for their mother’s return. Instead of their mother, a strange cat enters the house. The cat begins balancing a fish bowl on the tip of its umbrella while balancing itself on a beach ball! The two kids and their pet fish worry and worry. But readers around the world laughed and laughed over The Cat in the Hat.
Theodore Seuss Geisel wrote the book. He liked to make people laugh but he had a serious reason for writing the book. In 1954, a Life magazine article argued that kids couldn’t read because the books that used to teach them how to read were too boring. Someone suggested Geisel write a story that “first graders wouldn’t be able to put down.”
To write the book, Geisel had to study a beginning reader’s word list. Geisel said that he came up with the title by looking for the first two words on the list. And so The Cat in the Hat was born!
To celebrate The Cat in the Hat’s birthday, the publisher(出版商) of the book created Project 236. The number 236 represents something. As a part of Project 236, there will be a nationwide read-aloud of The Cat in the Hat at 2:36 on March 2,Dr.Seuss's birthday.

Theodore Seuss Geisel写了这本书.但他写这本书有个很严肃的理由除了想要把人们逗乐以外.1954年,《生活》杂志中的一篇文章评论道在过去教孩子们如何阅读的一些书籍太过乏味,所以孩子们无法阅读.一些人建议Geisel写一个“一年级学生读了就无法放下的”故事.
为了写这本书,Geisel不得不去学习一个初始阅读者的单词表.Geisel说他想出通过用题目来寻找单词表上第一、二个单词.因此《戴帽子的猫》这本书诞生了!
为了庆祝《戴帽子的猫》的生日,此书的出版商成立了一个236工程.编号236代表了一些事.作为236工程的一部分,在3月2日凌晨2点36分,Seuss博士的生日上将会有个全国范围的朗读这个故事.
