Dr Seuss Cupcakes are so super fun and a fantastic way to get children interested in reading, in Dr Seuss and in the story book, The Cat In The Hat.
I really love rhyming books and Dr Seuss books are no exception. Seriously! I enjoy the rhythm and speed found in these children's stories and I love to read the books to my daughter.
