Hmm, I Wonder Who Ebert Could Be Talking About?
"What happens then? Is Joan fired? Is the house perhaps magically repaired? I would be happy to tell you, but I had better not give away the ending; there may be unfortunate readers who have not read The Cat in the Hat, or had it read to them, or even had it summarized for them by a trusted adviser."

Yes. Donkey Carts.
What are they going to start attacking us with next? Kittens?
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - More than a dozen rockets fired from donkey carts slammed into Iraq's Oil Ministry and two hotels Friday - attacks dismissed by a U.S. general as "militarily insignificant" but which also exposed weaknesses in gathering intelligence on insurgents.
The brazen, coordinated strikes at some of Baghdad's most heavily protected civilian sites defied a U.S. crackdown.
Two other donkeys - one pulling a rocket launcher and another rigged to a bomb - were found within hours, one 30 yards from the Italian Embassy. U.S. officials said the targets were the headquarters of a Kurdish political party and a law school.
