The Cat in the Hat is about to take a trip through the calendar year. He's going to explain to us what a holiday is and why we have them. It's especially fun to learn facts about some of our traditions. Do you know why we have a Jack-O-Lantern? Where did the idea of an Easter Bunny come from? The wily old cat tells all in his typical gleeful voice.
