The Cat in the Hat: The Junior Novelization

Meet the Cat in the Hat you don't know! This junior novelization, which features a full-color insert, is based on The Cat in the Hat, releasing in theaters November 6, 2026.

In this all-new, epic adventure, where mischief, magic and mayhem reign supreme, the Cat in the Hat does what he does best--spreads joy to kids in his hilarious, signature and singularly irreverent way, transporting them on a fantastical journey through a world they've never seen before.

In this story, the Cat takes on his toughest assignment yet: to cheer up Gabby and Sebastian, a pair of siblings struggling with their move to a new town. Known for taking things too far, this could be this agent of chaos's last chance to prove himself...or lose his magical hat! This junior novelization is a retelling of the animated theatrical feature film and includes a full-color insert. It's perfect for kids!
