Happy (almost) Birthday, Dr. Seuss! Whose childhood hasn’t been enriched by the whimsical menagerie of characters that Theodor Geisel created over the years? From The Cat in the Hat, to Yertle the Turtle, we’ve been able to experience the charming stories of these unique individuals who we grew up and then, share them with our own families. Had the beloved author still been alive, he would have celebrated his 108th birthday on March 2, 2012. In honor of Dr. Seuss, PBS Kids will be broadcasting a 2-hour marathon of “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That” this Friday. The on-air festivities will feature two never-seen-before episodes entitled “Seasons–Spring and Summer/Fall and Winter” and “When I Grow Up/Doing It Differently.” The cat’s zany antics are sure to delight viewers of all ages, so be sure to set your DVR for school-aged viewers. With future generations growing up with the Cat, Dr. Seuss and all his imaginative cast of characters, this cat is bound to have more than nine lives.
In a Nutshell: Check your local listings for the PBS Kids’ Cat in the Hat 
marathon. Long live Dr. Seuss, in our hearts and in our childlike imaginations…
