Child Cat in the Hat Top Hat - Dr. Seuss

Tip a Cat Top Hat to Dr. Seuss

Millions of children have discovered the joy of reading through the works of Dr. Seuss. Stories like The Cat in the Hat are cherished the world over for their charming rhymes, imaginative illustrations, and most importantly, their accessibility to beginning readers. For many kids, a Dr. Seuss story is the first book they ever read on their own. It's no wonder then that Dr. Seuss's birthday has become a day to celebrate all things Seuss and to ignite a passion for reading in the latest generation of kids. On March 2, or the nearest school day, you'll find events across the country in honor of Dr. Seuss's beloved children's stories. At libraries, schools, and community centers, children and their parents and teachers dress up as their favorite Seuss characters, read Dr. Seuss stories, and create Seuss-inspired arts and crafts. These Dr. Seuss parties aren't just a lot of fun, they can instill a life-long love of reading, writing, and creativity in the children who participate.

On the second of March,
All over the nation,
Children take part
In Seuss celebrations.
Some bring their books.
Some bring their mats.
And some like to dress
As Cat in the Hat!

Your child will be ready to make a mess (and clean it up in the nick of time) wearing this Cat in the Hat top hat. The right costume will get them in the spirit of Seuss and ready to read!
