He was so excited, in fact, that on _Jimmy Kimmel Live_ he donned a full Cat-in-the-Hat suit and rapped the entire new book. Although maybe it was more Kimmel’s excitement than Tyler’s: he finishes the verse by saying, “Jimmy Kimmel, this segment was wack.” _What Pet Should I Get_ was released in July; the previously unpublished manuscript become the first new Dr. Seuss book since its author’s death in 1991.
