First in the Dr. Seuss Books Series. / Look for series verification 1 on this ornament. / "It's fun to have fun buy you have to know how..." chants the Cat in the Hat as he leads two children on a merry chase all through their house. The fast-moving , fast-talking cat is the creation of Theodor (Dr. Seuss) Geisel. Dr. Seuss books sparkle with a healthy dose of nonsense, begging to be read aloud and encourageing children to read "all by themselves." / Just as The Cat in the Hat led the way for a parade of popular Dr. Seuss Beginner Boosk, this set of two colorful ornaments is the first in a series that will feature enduring characters from a variety of Dr. Seuss books. / Sculpted by Nello Williams / For decorative use only. / Not for young children. / Handcrafted - Dated 1999
