Review

The Story in 'A Tale About Tails' is taken from a script for the TV show on PBS of The Cat in the Hat. The story is told in the regular Dr.Seuss rhyming format but the story itself lacks in information. The story centers around the adventure of two main characters and the Cat in the Hat trying to find facts about animal tails. They only encounter a couple of different tails and there is very little actual information about the animal. Fun to read but disappointing in learning anything about animal tails. A good book for boys and girls bound in a paperback format easy reader aimed at grade level 1-3.

Overall Book Score: fair
