The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot about That: A Tale about Tails by Tish Rabe - ADVISABLE

Rabe, Tish  The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That: A Tale about Tails  Illustrated by Tom Brannon  Random House, 2014.  $3.99  EARLY READER  Content: G.  

Sally and Nick are playing pin the tail on the donkey, when the Cat and the Hat shows up and offers to take them to see more animals with tails.  They see a monkey, a snake and a bird and talk about how those animals use their tails for different purposes.  

This book is an early reader with about 2-3 sentences per page.  The story is told in rhyme and has a few made up words, as Dr. Seuss books often do.  The illustrations are bright and cartoonish.  The information isn’t scientifically in-depth, but it’s a good introduction to tails for new readers.
