The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library shows young readers that books can be entertaining and educational at the same time.

Ice Is Nice is the latest book in this wonderful series, which talks to readers about the North and South Poles.

The Cat in the Hat travels first to the North Pole then to the South, both of which are similar, yet also very different. On this journey, the reader will learn many interesting facts. Why are the North and South poles are so cold? How do people and wildlife thrive in such frosty and unpredictable weather?

The story has a bit of rhyme to it that will delight readers and is common to other Seuss books. The information provided is excellent for teachers and parents to help supplement what a child may already know about the North and South poles and about the environment.

Overall, this book was an enjoyable read and holds up to the educational value The Cat in the Hat Learning Library series instills.
