I did my entire freshman research paper on "Christlike Symbolism in the Lord of the Rings." Frodo the Deliverer, Gandalf the Resurrection. Aragorn the Triumphant King.Well I supposed a determined person could similarly find Christian symbolism in Cat in the Hat and the Bobbsey Twins.
Frankly, I don't see why people can't just enjoy literature for what it is.

Frankly, I don't see why people can't just enjoy literature for what it is. I love LOTR for what it is. And read it several times before ever taking a serious look at the symbolism.
But "what it is" is a classic work of good vs. evil, with strong Christian overtones.
