The Cat in the Hat series was one of the favorite bedtime stories I had read to my children almost 50 years ago. Somewhere in storage I still have the original but my baby grandson would probably graduate college before I could find it so I purchased it new. My son is lucky in that he gets to spend a lot of quality time with his baby boy, Lucas and loves to read to him. The book came well packaged and on time. I'm sure the future holds many more memorable moments of quality time spent reading the stories of the Cat in the Hat adventures. The books are kept in a beautiful box that I labeled “Lucas’s Magical Library” so he will have them as a keepsake for his children if he is lucky enough to become a parent or just a nice memory to have of him and his father.
