The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat

Sign in to edit


Synopises[]

In The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat, these two Seuss favorites cross paths on a beautiful summer day. True to his nature, the Grinch is unhelpful, unfriendly and unkind, leaving the Cat in the Hat no choice but to "ungrinch the Grinch." The frisky feline is more than up to the task, making for a lively, lyrical lesson in amiability, courtesy and being considerate to those who love us.
