I’m not sure, but it could have been The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. Which is a very disturbing book in retrospect. They should not have let a stranger into the house. The fish is the only rational character in that book. An unsung hero.
- John KaagInterview
Sure. I’m sure I read The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss first, but I don’t really remember that. I remember reading two books. The Little Moon Theatre by Irene Haas—a story about a wandering troupe of musicians, accompanied by a fairy godmother. And Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. I was way too young for it…

My earliest reading memory would of course be reading The Cat In The Hat by Dr. Seuss.
- Ian TollInterview
The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss struck deep. Thing One and Thing Two were disturbing and beguiling in about equal measure. Later I discovered J.R.R. Tolkien and Stephen King, still two of my favorites.
