PBS KIDS and Random House join to support science learning for preschoolers nationwide with the premiere of "The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That!™" on Monday, September 6, 2010. KPBS will air the program daily at 8:30 a.m. and at 2:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Voiced by award-winning actor Martin Short, Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat guides friends Sally and Nick - with a little help from the Fish, Thing 1 and Thing 2 - on fun-filled adventures where they make natural-science discoveries, from how bees make honey to why owls sleep during the day.

Filled with both adventure and silliness, "The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That!™," based on the acclaimed The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library book series, will appeal to preschoolers' natural curiosity, and engage them in the process of scientific exploration and discovery.
