THE CAT IN THE HAT IS COMING!

     Yes, indeedy! "The Cat in the Hat" is coming to the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library!
     He's going to be here on Wednesday, March 6th, at 3:30 p.m.  Children from ages three to ten are welcome to the event, but must have an adult present with them.  Parents will need to call the library at 229-985-6540 to register their children, since the seating is filling up fast.
     The magical Reuben Haller brings to life the wacky world of Dr. Seuss, creator of "The Cat in the Hat."  And you won't believe what he brings with him to delight children and adults alike.
     Of course, I'm assuming that almost all kids know about "The Cat in the Hat."  But for those who don't, "The Cat in the Hat" is a children's book by Dr. Seuss, who was really Theodor Geisel, writing as Dr. Seuss. 
     This tall, mischievous cat wears a tall, red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie, and speaks in a delightful language.  "The Cat" appears in six of Dr. Seuss's rhymed children's books.  The series of Beginner Books not only promoted the name of Dr. Seuss, but also the cause of elementary literacy in the U.S.A. when written in 1954 in response to an article in "Life" magazine concerning the problems children had with reading. 
     The book has been popular since its publication; it has a tiny vocabulary and tells an entertaining tale.  More than 11 million copies have been printed and it has been translated into more than 12 different languages.  It was one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by "School Library Journal."
     The invitation is out...come see "The Cat in the Hat" and celebrate "Read Across America" with a few other surprises we have planned for you.
