From the moment his tall, red-and-white-striped hat appears around the door, Sally and her brother know that The Cat in the Hat is the most adventurous cat that they have ever met. With the trickiest of tricks and the craziest of ideas, he is certainly loads of fun… but what will mom find when she gets home?

Based on the books by Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss), Adapted by Katie Mitchell.
