Another point that people often miss is that the reason why there's symbolism in everything that children read in English class is because... the teacher chose it. If there wasn't a clear line of evidence suggesting that there's strong themes and heavy symbolism in a particular book, then the teacher obviously wouldn't have chosen it. If your job is to teach literacy, you're not going to pick The Cat in the Hat as a teaching example.
