Japanese literature in general is low quality. You can get away with being an esteemed writer in Japan if you keep making half assed metaphors without actually writing anything of substance.

The drama of The Cat In The Hat is very interesting. On the other hand, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is easier to understand because of the action and other aspects rather than the drama. I think that The Very Hungry Caterpillar doesn't require that kind of reading comprehension.
