**The Cat in the Hat is 40 years old. Random House Children’s Publishing has launched
a year-long celebration of this event, and a US educational charity has been chosen
as a beneficiary.**

Children are being encouraged by Random House to create and send a birthday card
to the friendly feline; for every birthday card received, Random House will donate
a book to the National Center for Family Literacy to help needy children learn to
read.
