Dr Seuss's famous hat is the one thing when you see it you know what is going on. My granddaughter had her first Dr Seuss  birthday and she was to dress up in her favorite character. She choice the Cat and we asked why. She said because his hat was the one thing people know. Pretty good at 6. This hat is very well made and will fit anyone from a child of 6 to a young adult. (it fits my head and i have what is considered a small head for a lady.) It made a very good statement and will be used again in coming years.
