On March 2nd at 8am, WGBY is honoring the birthday of local hero Theodor Seuss Geisel, more widely known as Dr. Seuss, with a two-hour marathon of The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That!  PBS KIDS will celebrate Dr. Seuss’ 107th birthday by rhyming along with the playful Cat during two brand new episodes, “Incredible Journey/Bamboozled,” where the Cat introduces Nick and Sally to two incredible creatures, Salmon Sam and Zhu Zhu the panda, and “Teeny Weeny Adventure/I See Seeds,” in which the Cat takes Nick and Sally on two “tiny” adventures.  The fun will then continue with encore presentations of two favorite episodes of The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That.  The Marathon will also be re-broadcast Saturday and Sunday morning as well.

Follow up the marathon by visiting the Springfield Museums on Saturday, March 3, for a Dr. Seuss Birthday celebration.  Come see a Dr. Seuss cake contest or participate in kids activities and the Crabgrass Puppet Theater show.  Admission to the Museums is free for Springfield residents with proof of address.

The first 100 kids at the Museum that day will receive a special Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That Activity Book.  We hope to see you there!
