There were no references to Dr. Seuss or to any felines.
But there were scores of hats on parade inside Mary Beth Patrick and Lynn Crain's pre-kindergarten classrooms at Dorn School.
The students participated in a "Hat Parade" event that allowed students to share their favorite hats with their classmates after they finished reading "The Hat" by Jan Brett.
Once the story was finished, students paraded through the halls of Dorn School with their favorite hats and carrying instruments to celebrate the story.
