COMING IN 2026—A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BILL HADER AS THE CAT IN THE HAT

The Cat is back—along with some surprise friends—in this beloved Beginner Book by Dr. Seuss.

Dick and Sally have no time to play. It’s winter and they have mountains of snow to shovel. So when the Cat comes to visit, he decides to go inside and to take a bath. No problem, right? Wrong! The pink ring he leaves in the tub creates is a very BIG pink problem when he transfers the stubborn stain from the bath onto Mother’s white dress, Dad’s shoes, the floors, the walls, and ultimately, over the entire yard full of snow! Will the kids EVER clean up the mess? You bet they will, with some help from the Cat and his helpers: 26 miniature cats (AKA Little Cats A-Z) who live inside the Cat’s hat!

This classic Dr. Seuss story is the perfect choice for beginning readers and read-alouds, especially on snow days!

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read!

Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children.
