Random House Graphic Announces Dr. Seuss Graphic Novels Debut in 2024

Random House Graphic, a distinguished imprint under Random House Children's Books, in collaboration with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, is set to unveil a pioneering series of graphic novels in 2024, introducing beloved Dr. Seuss characters in brand-new adventures.

This innovative Dr. Seuss graphic novel program comprises three captivating chapter book series, each crafted by comic book creators, and each centering on a renowned Dr. Seuss character - the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch, and Sam-I-Am. The first book in the Cat in the Hat series, "Cat Out of Water," authored by Art Baltazar, is scheduled for release on April 30, 2024. Following this, readers can anticipate a Grinch-inspired tale, as narrated by Kaeti Vandorn, based on "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" in the fall of 2024. Subsequently, spring 2025 will bring forth a story inspired by "Green Eggs and Ham," featuring Sam-I-Am and penned by James Kochalka. These acclaimed authors will continue to craft subsequent titles within each character's series, promising readers a delightful and imaginative journey into the world of Dr. Seuss like never before.

Susan Brandt, President and CEO, Dr. Seuss Enterprises said, "Ted Geisel completely transformed the way children learn to read with 'The Cat in the Hat' nearly seventy years ago, and the unique experience of reading a Dr. Seuss book still energizes new generations of young readers. 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."   

Whitney Leopard, Senior Editor, Random House Graphic said, "Chapter book graphic novels are one of the fastest-growing categories in the industry, and we are absolutely over the moon to bring Dr. Seuss's iconic characters to life in a new way that will not only excite kids but also get more kids reading. It is an honor to work with the lineup of comic book creators we have with Art, James, and Kaeti, and I can't wait for kids to get their hands on these new Dr. Seuss adventures."
