About this book

The Cat is on a mission to make school FUN in this hilarious Beginner Book—a sequel to If I Had Your Vote by the Cat in the Hat!

COMING IN 2026—A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BILL HADER AS THE CAT IN THE HAT

When the Cat hears that Sally and her brother of the classic The Cat in the Hat think school is dull, he arrives at their classroom—along with Little Cats A, B, and C from The Cat in the Hat Comes Back—to demonstrate how school fun should be done! Among the changes he'd make? Adding two-headed class pets; replacing show-and-tell with smell-and-tell; planting book-blooming seeds (growing rooms full of books); and adding such nontraditional materials as mops and plungers to art class! An ideal choice for children entering school for the first time, this easy reader is bound to cause lots of giggles—helping to ease any back-to-school anxiety!

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children.
