Summary
Hurray for Today! : All about Holidays
With a little help from the Birthday Bird of Katroo, the Cat and Co. explain (in rhymed verse!) the origin of common holiday rituals such as lighting candles, dying eggs, and sending cards. Holidays include Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's, Groundhog's Day, Valentine's Day, President's Day, St. Patrick's Day--and that's only through March! "The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library shows young readers that books can be entertaining and educational at the same time.
