Why is the Cat in the Hat such a popular Halloween costume?
The Cat in the Hat is a children's book written by Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) written in the 1950s that has been read by children learning to read around the world. In the book, the Cat entertains two young children while there mother is out of the house.
More than 10 million copies of The Cat in the Hat have been printed, including a sequel and spurred a series of children's books that included the popular Green Eggs and Ham. The book is recognized as a literary feat both for its popularity and its limited vocabulary. Written using 236 different words, and only 1 word with three syllables ("another"), the easy to read style has made it one of the most popular in the United States to teach a child to read.
Dr. Seuss and The Cat in the Hat are still widely read by children in the United States despite its publication in the 1950s. In 2003, Universal Studios and DreamWorks Pictures released The Cat in the Hat movie, starring Mike Myers as The Cat.
