The Cat in the Hat is coming to Dr. Seuss’s 101st birthday party at the Sarah Bain Gallery on Birch Street in Brea on March 2 from 2-7 p.m. Everyone is invited, especially kids. Gallery owner Sally Waranch said she waited an entire year to acquire some of his original pieces of art to display on his birthday. She said she wants to educate people about the work of Seuss, whose real name is Theodor Seuss Geisel. “Everyone [gallery owners] wants his birthday,” Waranch said. Some of the work displayed is part of a touring collection that will only be shown at this gallery until March 13. Most of his work is warehoused at the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California San Diego, which houses 8,500 pieces of his collection. “Folks are surprised about his early political career,” said Joe Bray, biblio- graphical specialist of the Mandeville Collection.
