The Dr. Seuss classic, "Cat in the Hat" was first published in 1957, but judging by the 2003 movie rendition that grossed more than $100 million at the U.S. box office, it is still a popular story. As with all of Dr. Seuss books, the book has poetic rhyme, characters with unusual names, and stories that capture the attention of its reader. Of all of the Dr. Seuss books that exist, "Cat in the Hat" is by far the most popular. The story is basically about two children who are left at home with nothing to do because it is raining outside. The Cat in the Hat arrives and provides an afternoon of wild chaos that has intentions of fun, but falls just short of destruction. In good children story fashion, at the end of the story order is restored and all ends well.

Unlike the children in the Cat in the Hat, children today can occupy their time playing video games and surfing the Internet if they are forced to play indoors due to inclement weather. While images of mayhem may swim around your head when considering a Cat in the Hat party, it can help you lure them from the electronic devices and turn out to be great fun for you and your children.

The good news about a Cat in the Hat party is that just about anything goes. The children can dress in their most colorful pajamas and represent Thing One and Thing Two in the story. If you have more than one child you can have Thing Three, Thing Four, and so forth. You can be the Cat in the Hat, the master of ceremony. Of course, you will have to perform tricks and perform a wicked juggling act. The children can participate in a balancing contest. The one who crosses the line first without dropping a book or other object on their head wins. Don't forget the food. Use green food coloring to create green eggs and ham.
