Meet the Cat in the Hat you don’t know! This Little Golden Book 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 Little Golden Book based on the film is perfect for children, as well as Little Golden Book collectors of all ages!

Little Golden Books enjoy nearly 100% consumer recognition. They feature beloved classics, hot licenses, and new original stories . . . the classics of tomorrow.

Golden Books’ backlist is teeming with classics such as Dorothy Kunhardt’s Pat the Bunny, and features the stories and artwork of children’s book legends Mary Blair, Margaret Wise Brown, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkins, Garth Williams, and many more. Today, the Golden Books imprint includes an array of storybooks, novelty books, and coloring and activity books featuring all of the most popular licenses, including Disney, Nickelodeon, Barbie, Thomas & Friends, The Cat in the Hat, Sesame Street, Marvel Super Heroes, and DC Super Friends.
