After receiving a letter from Santa Claus, the Cat in the Hat contemplates how HE would run Christmas differently if put in charge of the "whole North Pole show." Among the things he'd change: dressing his elves—Thing One and Thing Two—in toy-making sweaters with real tricks up their sleeves; wrapping presents in singing gift wrap; using cane cranes to lift giant candy canes up into four-story tall stockings; and designing a new expandable Santa suit to store all the cookies and snacks people leave him!   A perfect, cheerful choice for seasonal read-alouds and holiday gift giving, this rhymed easy-reader will delight Dr. Seuss fans and Cat fanciers young and old!   Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.
