Travelling with Canterail/See the Cat in the Hat in Pontoise

Information
During 1995, book character parades in primary schools of Canterlot became a form of "illegal" timetable operation. Subsequently, due to illegal timetable operations caused by book character parades, all primary schools in Canterlot cancelled book character parades from 1995-1999 and therefore Canterlot Educational Organisation banned them from primary schools in 2000.

Pontoise became the first suburb of Canterlot to cancel book character parades in primary schools in 1995, five years before the phase-out ban in 2000. Canterlot Library Group forced Pontoise to set up two annual book characters' Halloween party events for all ages (including primary school students) in 1996 because of that. One is based on Dr. Seuss book characters, the other based on Disney book characters. The two annual book characters' Halloween party events became one of the icons of the suburb of Pontoise by 2001. These icons are a 400-600 m walk close to Canterail's Pontoise railway station.
