[MOSAIC] textmapping question

Dr. Seuss, "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back"

I have also used Peggy Rathmann's "10 Minutes 'Til Bedtime" and "Goodnight 
Gorilla".  Lots of opportunities for strategies -- for example, some really 
cool text-to-text connections involving the timing and setting of the two 
stories (they happen at the same town, in the same neighborhood -- and the 
cool part is how Rathmann tells us this), some weird text-to-itself (don't 
know how else to describe this) connections within "10 Minutes", lots of 
room for interesting inferences having to do with balloons and freedom, and 
more....  Fun stuff.
