Cat in the Hat returns to Children's Museum

Mischief may be afoot in Dover on Saturday, April 7 as the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire hosts a visit from The Cat in the Hat.

The museum’s popular Books Alive program, underwritten by Irving Oil, will welcome Dr. Suess favorite The Cat in the Hat from 10 am – 2 pm. Museum staff will be reading Cat in the Hat tales aloud throughout the day. The friendly costumed cat will be popping in and out to greet children, exchange a hug or high-five, and pose for photos. There will be a variety of feline-inspired literacy, math and creative activities for children in the museum’s large classroom.

Adding to the family fun, musician/puppeteer Amy Conley will perform music on banjo, guitar, harmonica and more at 11 am and 1 pm. Amy has performed at hundreds of concerts and parties in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. This will be her first visit to the Children’s Museum in Dover. She has produced two CDs for children and is also the Director of Music Together of Milford and Greater Manchester/Nashua. More information on Amy can be found at www.AmyConleyMusic.com

All Books Alive activities are included with regular paid admission to the museum: $9 for adults and children over the age of 1 and $8 for seniors. Museum admission is free for Children’s Museum of NH members and children under 1 year old.
