toys

the crank is turned. One is based on Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat, and the
other is based on Ian Falconer's Olivia the Pig character. The Cat in
the Hat box is red, yellow, and blue and has a black and white cat
dressed in a red and white hat that pops out of the box. "CAT IN THE HAT" is

manufactured in China.
