The mischievous Cat in the Hat narrates this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all of the Whos of Whoville!

Lining up to get loose!
Oh, the Thinks you can think! Oh, the Thinks you can think
When you think about Seuss!!"
