Can you believe it’s the 60th anniversary of Dr Suess’ ‘The Cat in the Hat’? 60 years. First published in 1957 and beloved for every single moment after. It’s a children’s staple and the Book Trust has created a unique and quite frankly ADORBS way to celebrate.
Dr Suess is essentially the GOAT when it comes to younger fiction. His poetry and his imagination has stolen the hearts of thousands, if not millions, of readers. He created one of the most mischievous kitties in literature!

Not only did he pen them, he illustrated them too. Talk about TALENT! And we think he’d be more than impressed with this feline fiesta of hella cool headwear. ‘The Cat in the Hat’ is just FUN!
Bravo, Book Trust, you legitimately won Sunday with this:
