Dr. Seuss Graphic Novels in the Works

Random House Graphic and Dr. Seuss Enterprises have teamed up to release graphic novels for kids ages 5 to 8.

The initial Dr. Seuss graphic novel roster features three chapter book series, each centered on an iconic Dr. Seuss character: the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch and Sam-I-Am.

The first installment of the Cat in the Hat series, Cat Out of Water, by New York Times best-selling author Art Baltazar, will be released on April 30, 2024.

A story featuring the Grinch, told by Kaeti Vandorn, inspired by How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, will follow in fall 2024.

A Green Eggs and Ham-inspired story featuring Sam-I-Am and told by James Kochalka is slated for spring 2025.

“Ted Geisel completely transformed the way children learn to read with The Cat in the Hat nearly 70 years ago, and the unique experience of reading a Dr. Seuss book still energizes new generations of young readers,” said Susan Brandt, CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises. “The launch of Dr. Seuss graphic novels is an exciting step in carrying forward Ted’s legacy and his belief in celebrating the endless possibilities of a child’s imagination. These new books—by celebrated talent, featuring favorite characters and in a format so in-demand—give kids another way to experience the magic of reading, and we know this would energize Ted if he were here with us today.”
