The Cat in the Hat Comes Back

I have just recently informed you, dear reader, of Ellie's fascination with The Cat in the Hat, but I have not, perhaps, sufficiently impressed upon you the extent to which said story has permeated our existence.

Look.

She can't read that well; she's just reciting it.  And if someone (Leo or I, but probably Ellie on occasion) will feed her a line or two, she can get to the place where the Cat is standing on the ball and balancing ridiculous numbers of things.

I feel that this is excessive.
