The Cat in the Hat Comes Back is a children's book written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss and published by Random House in 1958.
Until The Cat in the Hat ('Mike Myers') walks in the front door. He introduces them to their imagination, and at first it's all fun and games, until things get out of hand, and The Cat must go, go, go, before their parents get back.
