Cat in the Hat, Sans Cat

So today is Dr. Seuss' birthday and children all over America will be celebrating by eating green eggs and ham, making oobleck, planting trees for the Lorax, and of course wearing large, striped hats.

I recently came across this store display of hats. The sign designated them simply as "church hats." I was amused with how large and elaborate they were --and astounded when I saw the prices went as high as $130.

I was looking at some fancy Easter bonnets, for sure! But a couple of the red ones were almost high enough for the Cat in the Hat to wear for the birthday celebration.
