Cat in the Hat Greets Surprised Girl and Dog

Cat in the Hat Greets Surprised Girl and Dog coloring sheet

Coloring guide

The Cat in the Hat stands tall in the middle of the page, wearing his tall striped hat and big bow tie, with both hands held out wide and his eyes closed in a happy smile. A little girl with a hair bow and a short dress looks up at him with her mouth in a small round shape, and a small dog with a collar walks near the Cat's feet. Above them, a bird with a tuft of head feathers perches on a flat closed book that seems to float in the air. A window with cloud shapes sits behind the group, and a curved tail loops past the glass. Try coloring the hat stripes in two bold colors, then ask kids to spot every character in the scene. This free page also works well for a short story retelling activity.
