The Cat In The Hat turns 50! The Cat In The Hat first appeared in 1957, and is a fictional cat created by Dr. Seuss. To help celebrate the 50th anniversary, readers can send the Cat In The Hat an e-mail birthday card. For every card the cat gets, Random House will donate a new book to First Book, a nonprofit organization that promotes reading in low-income communities. Since it was founded in 1992, First Book has distributed more than 40 million books to young readers in 1,300 communities around the country. To send a card, go to www.seussville.com/CITH_50th/. Cards must be received by May 1.
