About this book
This terrific action-packed story is based on the live-action movie script for 'The Cat in the Hat', which stars the irrepressible Mike Myers. Told from young Conrad's waggish point of view, this novel is a must-have for Cat fans everywhere!
Conrad and Sally have a classic case of the worst-day-evers. It's raining outside, their babysitter is hogging the television and their mother is having a houseful of estate agents over for a party tonight.
Enter The Cat in the Hat, the hippest, coolest, largest feline in town. The result? Cat-astrophe!
