Learn, Grow, and Read Alongside New Dr. Seuss Babies

Characters like the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch, and more are iconic staples of many homes — and now you can find them as babies!

Dr. Seuss Enterprises has introduced Dr. Seuss Babies — baby versions of iconic characters — for your family to read with, learn from, and grow alongside. There are books, videos, and more that will feature the tiny characters.

The new books will include rhyming text, bright colors, and adorable babies. The debut story, Happy First Birthday! , is currently available for preorder — and you can expect it to join your bookshelf in January. Readers will follow baby versions of the Cat in the Hat, Thing One, and Thing Two as they celebrate a milestone birthday. The 22-page, lift-the-flap board book also features a mirror.

Families can expect two additional Dr. Seuss Babies books next year: Mr. Brown on the Farm will be released in May, and Merry Grinchmas, Baby! will be available next September. Plus, three Dr. Seuss Babies books will join the collection in 2026!

You can also watch the Dr. Seuss Babies in a collection of shows called Learn to Read. Available on Dr. Seuss’ YouTube channel, the series will help viewers develop phonic reading skills through letters and sounds. Families can watch the first episode, “Learn to Read with Fox in Socks,” now, a 6-minute episode in which Dr. Seuss Babies teach kids how to spell.

If your family loves the Dr. Seuss Babies videos and books, you can plan on adding the characters to different parts of your household. Baby and infant products featuring the babies — including feeding solutions, diapers, and onesies — will be available soon. You can expect different products from favorites like Posh Peanut, Hello Bello, and Playtex Baby.
