This article is all about Cat in the Hat quotes. “The Cat in the Hat” is a famous children’s book title written by Dr Seuss in 1957. By that time, parents were so eager to get hold of wholesome reading materials for their kids.

The book became a recommended book for children who are beginning to read. That is because the words used in the entire story are only a few. Not much long or hard vocabulary terms were used within the text.

In fact, the original Cat in the Hat only contained 1,626 words. Among these, unique words only totaled 236, 54 of which were mentioned once and 33 words were used exactly only twice throughout the entire book.

Even the most common articles, conjunctions, adjectives and pronouns like “the”, “I”, “and” and “not” were individually used 40 times throughout the text.

Interestingly, the longest words used in the story are the words…

TONY AND THE PIZZA CHAMPIONS is written by Tony Gemignani who is a real world class pizza tosser. He has a team and they have won the world pizza-tossing championships eight times in Italy. Tony and his brother own Pyzano’s Pizzaria which is located in Northern California and they have also written a cookbook called CHRONICLE’S PIZZA COOKBOOK. If this doesn’t qualify Gemignani as an author of a book on pizza then I don’t know what would!

The story is boldly illustrated by Matthew Trueman with bright colors and friendly looking characters. Readers will enjoy the invitation to read the about the dough-flying fun as the characters of Tony and his team travel to Italy to compete in the international Pizza Lovers competition. The story is interesting to young and old alike as we see what goes on in this competition. The almost acrobatic art form of pizza tossing comes in…

I would like to tell you about a children’s book I recently read. The name of the book is “Where’s My Hair?” The book is about cancer. It tells about the days of cancer treatments in a young pediatric oncology patient. The book is downright amazing.

First of all let me tell you about the illustrations. The pictures in this book are so bold and full of color. The pictures are life like; even the smallest details are included. On one page the illustrator included body charts. One another they have a mirror on the shelf in the character’s bedroom. From the words on the charts to the different colors of pen’s in the pencil holder, the details and colors are downright amazing.

As for the words in this story; the words are super simple. So many times I read a book and the words are not age appropriate. This book’s words…

The book Listen To My Dream, a children’s story about Martin Luther King, Jr, was published in December, 2009. The publisher is Pearl Books, LLC.

The book covers the life of King from childhood through his death in 1968 and is written as a narrative poem. It opens with King asking his mother why he was black and wasn’t treated like others. Later, his teacher encouraged him to dream big dreams to help others. He set his mind to do that very thing.

As a ‘colored man’ (a term for Negroes at the time), he didn’t have the same privileges in the south that whites had. Then when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person and was arrested, King organized a boycott of the Montgomery bus system until blacks were treated the same as others. Eventually in 1956 the Supreme Court ruled that such discrimination was against…

Pinky, A Girl-Power Hero

Despite decades of advances in the woman’s movement, there are some who still believe that girls are weaker or less smart than boys of the same age. Children’s author and illustrator MJ Daley-Prado saw a need for a strong, young, female character and Pinky fits the bill.

This empowering story is geared for audiences aged 4 to 9 and will also appeal to older children. My four-year-old daughter and six-year-old son loved it! Pinky is well on her way to becoming a bedtime favorite in our household.

Pinky packs a wallop; both in the boxing ring and in the book’s wonderful message. She isn’t afraid to do things her way; i.e., streaking her blonde hair or concealing her identity in the championship match. Don’t think of calling her a tomboy, as Pinky isn’t happy to copy the boys – she sets out to beat them. Ignoring her Mom and…

Dr. Seuss is easily one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time. Dr. Seuss trivia should start with the fact that Seuss was really his middle name, and that his full name was Theodor Seuss Geisel. A great point for a Dr. Seuss quiz is the origination of the pen name. While studying in Dartmouth, Seuss was caught drinking (which was against the law at the time) and as such was punished by participating in any extracurricular activities. Up to that point he had been the editor in chief of the college’s humor magazine, Jack-O-Lantern. Because he wished to continue working on the magazine, he had to begin writing under a pen name to escape the notice of school authorities, and thus, Dr. Seuss was born.

Many people are only familiar with Dr. Seuss’ children books, and aren’t aware that he wrote and drew in many other mediums and…
