The Cat in the Hat is a timeless Dr. Seuss character who has enchanted readers for generations; not to mention viewers, who enjoy movies and cartoons featuring this and other characters from one of the most beloved children’s writers of all time.

The ultimate Dr. Seuss party movie marathon could include, not only animated and live action versions of the classic Dr. Seuss tale, but other stories in the Seuss canon. It could include:

And “Who!” will come to a Cat in the Hat in the party does not come complete with a ‘purr-fect’ set of party supplies. These could include cardboard cutouts and stuffed animals of the Cat, Thing One and Thing Two, etc., placed throughout the party area, along with literacy posters and plastic wall clings that depict popular Seuss characters. Guests could wear tall hats in the style of the Cat in the Hat, and fun Dr. Seuss storybooks should serve as take home party favors.
