My library has a bunch of the Cat In The Hat I Can Read It All By Myself Beginner Books to give away next month for Dr. Seuss's birthday. I haven't read them all so I read this one thinking it would be a good message. Not so much.
The animal in the book thinks he/she wants to change so it changes into an elephant, giraffe, and a mouse. But the two little kids don't like it. You can't be too fat, too tall, or too small. What kind of message does that give to kids. People are not all the same size and shape.
I love Dr. Seuss books and some of the other authors that publish under his Cat In The Hat series. My favorite when I was young was Are You My Mother by P.D. Eastman. Hop On Pop, and Ten Apples Up On Top were favorites of my kids.

I like the message in this book "you're better when you're yourself."
BUT
I know the book isn't trying to say this, but it makes it seem like it's a bad being tall, small, and fat..
Just me? Ok.
