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!
