I remember reading Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat when I was a little girl. My grandparents would always read stories to us when we went over to their house to stay and this was one of my favorites. It is not an overstatement to say that Dr. Seuss has done an incredible amount to promote children’s literacy. He brought us a lot of amazing adventures and that is why we celebrate his birthday, every March 2, on Read Across America day. As a teacher, I usually made a big deal out of this day with my students. One of the activities we did was making The Cat in the Hat Dr. Seuss snacks very similar to these ones. Even the littlest of readers can get involved in this quick and delicious activity.

I was really excited when I recently found these Cherry JuJu coins on Amazon because the entire package contains the red coins necessary to make these Cat in the Hat treats. No more buying a package of candy and only being able to use the red ones. This is a lifesaver if you are making several of these Dr. Seuss cookies for a classroom or a group of kids.
