About The Cat In The Hat

The title character of Dr. Seuss' classic children's book, "The Cat In The Hat" is a likeable, mischevious cat who sports a jaunty, striped chapeau and brings an air of mischief and fun wherever he goes. Written originally in 1957, The Cat In the Hat was created by Dr. Seuss to make reading more fun and encourage literacy. His book was met with a sequel, 1958's "The Cat In the Hat Comes Back" and several other books for young readers with The Cat In the Hat's familiar face adorning the covers of many fantastical Seuss books.

Dressing up as The Cat In the Hat

Whether you're headed to a literary character party, or taking part in a live reading to local children, The Cat In the Hat is an instantly recognizable choice! Officially licensed costumes are available in sizes for kids and adults. Each Cat in the Hat costume package includes a soft, black-and-white jumpsuit with an attached tail and oversized red bowtie. And of course, there's the Cat's oversized red and white striped top hat!

If you're not feeling quite as zany as the Cat himself, there are still some of the Cat's trademark Cat In the Hat Hats made of durable, fully lined fabric in red and white.
