Not even the last is bad.

What don't you like about the first Cat in the Hat? It was always the challenge from my kids for me to read that one aloud as fast as possible without making a mistake.

I love it. Just love the others more.

It was one of like three my family had, so maybe I discount if for overfamiliarity.

jeez, some of these could pass for pkDick titles ((the Man Who Japed, In Milton Lumky Territory, Our Friends from Frolix 8 ..) or the boldtype bits in Marshall McLuhan's headline happy Take Today, hey ..
