Here Comes The Cat in the Hat!

Begins Monday, Sept. 6, on WILL-TV

Voiced by award-winning actor Martin Short, Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat guides friends Sally and Nick – with a little help from the Fish, Thing 1 and Thing 2 – on fun-filled adventures where they make natural-science discoveries, from how bees make honey to why owls sleep during the day.

Filled with both adventure and silliness, The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That will appeal to preschoolers’ natural curiosity, and engage them in the process of scientific exploration and discovery.
