Who is the author of The Cat in the Hat.?
Just one of the best ever children's book authors, Dr. Seuss.
What is the story of The Cat in the Hat about?
Really?  You've never read it?  It's about a mischievous cat who tries to make a rainy day fun for a little boy and girl.
Oh yea, I only read romantic story books such as Pride and Prejudice.
Oh, I love Pride and Prejudice.  But the cat in the hat is so light and fun with all the rhyming words.  It just flows...
What other books from Dr. Seuss do you recommend?
There are so many.  Let's see...One Fish, Two, Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, and the Lorax are just a few of my favorites.  
Thanks for all your recommendations of Dr. Seuss Books.
You are most welcome!  My favorite line ever is from Horton Hears a Who.  The book has a wonderful, touching message about treating everyone with love.
