I know a lot of teachers have a Dr. Seuss theme for their classrooms, so I thought I'd make an activity you can do with your students on the first day of school.  Simply run off the template. Students write the things they enjoyed doing the most on each stripe of the cat's hat.  Add a first day photo for that finishing touch.  There's a hat without the 1st day sentence as well, so you can use this activity during March's celebration of Seuss.

I wondered how many books Dr. Seuss had written, so I Googled it.  There were guess-timates from 40 to 60 books; because of the discrepancies, I decided to make my own list, so I could count and know the answer.   I came up with 65 (2 were for adults).  I hope you find this alphabetical list, with some interesting notations, helpful.
