The Cat in the Hat returns to Sally and her brother’s house on a snowy day when they’re left at home alone again. The kids were instructed to clear some snow, but the cat appears again to cause trouble. The cat makes another mess, but is able to get it cleaned with the help of cats a-z, and clear the snow before the mother comes home. This is another fun read and is great to read after reading The Cat in the Hat.

In the classroom, this book can be read during Dr. Seuss week. It can also be used for comparing and contrasting with The Cat in the Hat.
