绘本内容

The Cat in the Hat introduces beginning readers to maps–the different kinds (city, state, world, topographic, temperature, terrain, etc.); their formats (flat, globe, atlas, puzzle); the tools we use to read them (symbols, scales, grids, compasses); and funny facts about the places they show us (“Michigan looks like a scarf and a mitten! Louisiana looks like a chair you can sit in!”).
Tish Rabe is a best-selling children’s book author who has written over 90 children’s books including titles for Sesame Street, Blue’s Clues, Clifford the Big Red Dog and Curious George. In 1996 she began writing The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library for Random House, a series of non-fiction Dr. Seuss science books for early readers, which have sold 3.5 million copies to date. A new television series based on these books, “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot about That” airs daily on PBS Kids (http://www.pbskids.org/catinthehat).

Ms. Rabe also created her own original character “The I Believe Bunny” for Thomas Nelson (www.ibelievebunny.com) with gently, inspirational stories featuring beautiful watercolor illustrations, which won the Mom’s Choice Gold Award for Best Picture Book in 2010. As a television writer, she has written scripts for Clifford, Clifford’s Puppy Days, I Spy and The City Mouse and the Country Mouse Adventures. Ms. Rabe is also a professional jazz singer, award-wining lyricist and music producer and has written over 300 children’s songs with various composers for Sesame Street, Disney, Nickelodeon and PBS Kids. She is a proud mom and step-mom and takes time during the school year to travel across the United States doing interactive Author Visits (www.childrensauthorsally.com) showing students what it means to bring new ideas to life and encourages them to sing-along with her and get excited about reading and writing.
