Classic Children's Books Make the World Feel Better

Don’t just read big fancy books if you’ve never read “The Cat in the Hat” to some outraged children.

The nerve of this cat, really.

To waltz into the children’s house while their mother is out and unleash a rhyming cacophony. He’s like an IRS agent who thinks he’s a neighbor kid off his meds who thinks he’s your best friend.

But he’s none of these things. He’s a cat in a… hat. If he didn’t come back and vacuum up the whole mess with his mutant gerbils, we’d be pressing charges.

But a spark of vindication glimmers throughout the book and in the eyes of any little ones hearing it. The children (like all children in the grandeur of their daydreams) did nothing wrong. They can sleep at night knowing they didn’t wreck the house and mock the fish. It was that cat’s fault.
