Family-friendly events planned in San Francisco and San Mateo.
KQED to air two back-to-back premieres on Friday, March 1, of the acclaimed PBS KIDS series, The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!
Theodor Seuss Geisel would have turned 109 on March 2 this year. On the school day closest to the beloved children author’s birthday, the National Education Association sponsors Read Across America (RAA) to help foster literacy in America. In honor of Dr. Seuss and RAA, KQED has put together a series of family-friendly events featuring readings of Dr. Seuss books. The Cat in the Hat, the longtime ambassador of Read Across America, will make personal appearances at events presented in collaboration with organizations around the Bay Area.
As part of the celebration, on Friday, March 1, KQED is airing two back-to-back premieres of The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! at 8:30am and 9:00am on KQED 9 and at 10:30am and 11:00am on KQED Plus. Voiced by award-winning actor Martin Short, the Cat in the Hat guides friends Sally and Nick--with a little help from the Fish, Thing 1 and Thing 2--on fun-filled adventures. In these all-new episodes, the curious team discovers how our bones keep us upright and how to identify all of the planets in our solar system.
