A reporter named Kathy Lane comes to Theodor Geisel's home in order to do a report on the famous Dr. Seuss, where she meets a strange character. When Kathy asks to use him as a source, he reveals himself to be The Cat in the Hat. Curiosity allows her to open a magical book labeled "Open a book, open up your imagination", which pulls her into the world of Dr. Seuss. The Cat in the Hat shows Kathy a door which leads to a beach. On the beach, they read ''The Sneetches and Other Stories''. Kathy then falls into a kitchen where she meets Mr. Hunch from ''Hunches in Bunches''. They eat lunch and read ''McElligot's Pool''.
