What shall we do when Mother is not at home and it's raining?
By: Dr. Seuss

Discovery Questions

  • The boy and Sally had nothing to do. The Cat in the Hat came and made a mess. When did you do something you should not have? Write a story about it. Share it with a parent or adult friend.
  • The boy and Sally watch the Cat make a mess. They know their mother will be mad. Think of a different story. Who sits and watches something instead of stopping it? Tell how they are like the boy and Sally. Talk about it with a parent or adult friend.
  • The Cat says he will show the children games. The children do not play games. They just watch the Cat. Do you think this was fun for the boy and Sally? Do you think it was fun for the Cat? Discuss your answer with a parent or adult friend.
  • Write the next part of the story. What does the boy say they did all day? Don't forget to draw the pictures.

Discovery Questions are available in English and Spanish in the app.
