    Join Dr. Seuss'  Cat in the Hat as he and Dr. Twiggles help Sally and Nick figure out why their tree won't grow in this Step-Into-Reading book that's perfect for springtime reading, and yes-even pancake breakfasts!

    A trip underground in the Thinga-ma-jigger is undertaken, and sure enough, the maple tree needs water (which Things One and Two procure in ridiculous overabundance) and sun (which the Cat suppliments with a Brighta-ma-lighter). But as for getting syrup from the young sapling? That will take some 40 years! Written specifically for children learing how to read with help, this Step into Reading book is based on an episode of the PBS Kids preschool science show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! It is perfect for springtime reading, Earth and Arbor Day celebrations, and yes—even pancake breakfasts!
    Tish Rabe is a bestselling author of more than 160 books for children—including eighteen books in the Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library series. She is dedicated to early-childhood literacy and sits on the advisory board of Reach Out and Read Connecticut. Tish is a proud mom, stepmom, and grandma. She divides her time between New York City and Connecticut. Visit her on the web at tishrabe.com. View titles by Tish Rabe
