While their
mother is out on a shopping errand, Dick and Sally are stuck indoors on a dull,
rainy day, with nothing to do. Their dreary afternoon, however takes an
unexpected turn when they’re paid a visit by a charismatic, six-foot
tall, hat-wearing cat, who invites himself in to search for his misplaced
“moss-covered, three-handled family gredunza.”
Employing the
“Calculatus Eliminatus” method, the children help the Cat in the
Hat look for his missing keepsake but in the process, leave the house in a
mess. Mr. Krinkelbein, the family’s wise pet goldfish, who in effort to
look out for the kids’ best interest, protests the Cat in the Hat’s
shenanigans and orders him to leave. The Cat in the Hat however, preoccupied
with finding his missing “gredunza,” enlists the help of his best
friends, Thing One and Thing Two, to help with the search but the pair only
manage to bring the house into further disarray.
Unfazed by
the chaos that’s slowly unfolding around them, Dick and Sally are
captivated by the Cat in the Hat and his madcap, whimsical ways. They pass the
afternoon in sheer delight, singing happy songs and engaging playful mayhem
with their uninvited guest. Even the cynical Mr. Krinkelbein is won over by the
Cat’s infectious charm. Everyone is having way too much fun to notice the
house is a complete mess! That’s until Dick and Sally hear their mother
coming home. How in the world will they clean up the enormous mess before she
walks through the front door?
The deluxe edition of Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat
includes two additional Dr. Seuss classics Daisy-Head
Mayzie and The Hoober-Bloob
Highway.
