The Thinga-ma-jigger is Coming Today! by Tish Rabe

Rabe, Tish. The Thinga-ma-jigger is Coming Today! illustrated by Christopher Moroney. Golden Books, 2010. $3.99. EARLY READER. The story is based on the TV series The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! The Cat in the Hat picks children up in the Thinga-ma-jigger and they fly over forests and shores. Then he presses a button and shrinks them so they can explore flowers and go under water. Then he presses a button and they get bigger and go into space. The Stoppermatoggle is broken. What will they do? It looks like a problem for Thing One and Thing Two. Author Tish Rabe writes in a creative Dr. Suess-like style, which is imaginative and fun. The colorful illustrations with familiar characters are sure to appeal to Suess fans. EL – ADVISABLE. Samantha, Public Librarian.
