The Cat in the Hat is 50!

According to the Borders newsletter I got today, "The Cat in The Hat" is turning 50 on the 2nd March 2007!!
In our lifetime, there may never be another revolution like it. And, as revolutions often do, this one started in a small way. In 1957, Dr. Seuss was asked to write 'a story that first graders can't put down'. Given a list of 236 words drawn up by three experts, Seuss wrote 'The Cat in the Hat' and changed the world as we know it.

The Borders Kids Webpage lists the Cat in the Hat Project 236. On the 2nd of March 2007, at 2:36 pm we are all encouraged to read aloud the Cat in the Hat!

I know I will enjoy reading it to my chickadees! : )
