The Cat in the Hat introduces beginning readers to maps–the different kinds (city, state, world, topographic, temperature, terrain, etc.); their formats (flat, globe, atlas, puzzle); the tools we use to read them (symbols, scales, grids, compasses); and funny facts about the places they show us (“Michigan looks like a scarf and a mitten! Louisiana looks like a chair you can sit in!”).
The Cat in the Hat teaches Dick and Sally about cartography and the uses of different kinds of maps.

March 30, 2009: This book teaches all about maps and how to use and read them. My kids love it and want to read it over and over again. And they are learning more about maps each time they read it - and why and how we use maps.
