"The Cat in the Hat with Friends" features the cover of the book of the same title by Dr. Seuss. Surrounding the book cover are animated characters from the story. On the left, two children, Sally and the Boy, are together. Between them and the Cat is a Thing, small mischievous characters with wild blue hair and red suits. He holds a kite which the fish precariously hangs off of. On the right side, The Cat is balancing a red box on his head while striding cheerfully. The style is whimsical and colorful, paying tribute to Dr. Seuss's distinctive illustrations with a photo realistic twist.
