One of the best books I read all year. It is happy, it is uplifting, it is relatable. If you are looking for a good love story, one that you can relate to and thus enjoy even more, pick this one up.

Dr. Seuss' classic picture book is probably the first book I read out loud, on my own. It was really the book that helped me start to speak well. I remember my mom would read this one to me and I would try to speak the words over her until she just gave up and let me read it myself. I was really little, but I can still remember pointing at the words on the pages and trying to sound them out. Then I would go about the house saying “cat”, “hat”, “thing 1” and other words. The Cat In The Hat is a great children's book: it has funny pictures, an engaging story, easy words, rhyming, and it flows very well. Children will love it. Even adults will love it! I still enjoy picking it up and reading it to my younger cousins. It is such a fun book and so funny to children, who maybe hope that a cat in a hat will appear in their house to help them with their chores every time their parents leave them home alone!

The weakest of the three, in my opinion. I missed being in Kingsbridge, and the atmosphere of the whole town and community there.

This book is a perfect “feel-good” book. If you're ever doubt the goodness of humanity, read To Kill A Mockingbird. You will feel better.

One of my very favorite stories. I blazed through this book and was sad when it ended. So, so good.
