Calling all Dr. Seuss fans!  Have you ever made green eggs and ham?  Today, I’ve got a yummy Cat in the Hat birthday side to serve alongside those eggs when you are filling your week with Dr. Seuss activities.

The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess is this month’s Virtual Book Club for Kids.  It is perfect timing because March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ birthday and National Read Across America Day.

Make Cat in the Hat Birthday Hash Browns to go alongside green eggs and hame for a Dr. Seuss themed breakfast. A perfect start to National Read Across America Day.

If you are new to Virtual Book Club for Kids here is a little background.  The Educators’ Spin On It, Toddler Approved and Rainy Day Mum have put together a wonderful line-up of great books to explore.  Talented bloggers share activities to compliment the books.  You are invited to try out as many of the ideas that you feel would be a good fit for your kids.

The Book:  The Cat in the Hat

Seuss books are full of rhyme and silliness and The Cat in the Hat is a classic.  Two young children sit at the window wondering what to do since the rain is falling outside. Then, the Cat in the Hat arrives and the day gets a little more exciting especially when Thing 1 and Thing 2 are unboxed!
