PBS Kids Celebrates Dr. Seuss’ Birthday With An All-New Cat In the Hat Knows A Lot About That!

PBS KIDS MARKS DR. SEUSS’ BIRTHDAY WITH AN ALL-NEW CAT-EBRATION

A special week of science-focused THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT!

kicks off with a new one-hour special on Monday, March 3

As part of the celebration of Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’ Birthday,  PBS KIDS has announced a week of new adventures with the Cat in the Hat to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday. “Dr. Seuss’ Birthday Cat-ebration” kicks off on Monday, March 3, with the debut of a one-hour THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT! special. New half-hour episodes also premiere on Tuesday, March 4, and Wednesday, March 5. The new episodes follow the Cat, Nick and Sally as they explore a variety of animal attributes: from the benefits of crickets’ chirps and birds’ feathers, to the mimic octopus’ remarkable ability to imitate other sea creatures. Viewers also learn how glass is made, how multi-legged creatures walk and how cotton is spun into fabric.

PBS Kids launched a new mobile-friendly game:

As part of the “Cat-ebration,” PBS KIDS has also launched a new, mobile-friendly THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT! game: “Marbleous Marvel Coaster.” Available at pbskids.org/catinthehat,  “Marbleous Marvel Coaster” allows kids to create their own Seussian rollercoasters using open-ended play and engineering skills.

“As children across the U.S. celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday this March, PBS KIDS is proud to join the festivities with new adventures from one of his most iconic characters: the Cat in the Hat,” said Lesli Rotenberg, General Manager, Children’s Programming, PBS. “Through ‘Dr. Seuss’ Birthday Cat-ebration,’ we hope to inspire kids and stimulate their imaginations with a week of natural science exploration. In this special multiplatform event, families will join the Cat, Nick and Sally as they journey to zany Seussian places — from the Grassy-Grove-Dell to Feathery Flats — and learn from their quirky animal friends, such as Bugsy the Beetle, Sharky McGee and Greg the Gecko.”  I was provided a screener to view this new show and plan to watch it this weekend with my daughter!  Just love all things to do with Dr. Seuss and all the wonderful stories and characters he created.  What magical and wondrous worlds he created!  Enjoy!

A Dr. Seuss Giveaway!

And as part of the fun, our friends at Oceanhouse Media have provided some codes for Happy Birthday to You! ~Dr. Seuss.  All of their Dr. Seuss apps will be on sale through March 6th!  Good luck lovely dandelion moms!
