Description
Discover the lost Seuss! These rarely seen Dr. Seuss stories were published in magazines in the early 1950s and are finally available in book form. This Read & Listen edition features optional audio narration for compatible ebook readers.
What’s better than a lost treasure? Seven lost treasures! This book includes:
• “The Bippolo Seed,” in which a scheming feline leads a duck toward a bad decision
• “The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga,” about a rabbit who is saved from a bear by a single eyelash
• “Gustav, the Goldfish,” an early rhymed version of the Beginner Book A Fish Out of Water
• “Tadd and Todd,” about a twin who is striving to be an individual
• “Steak for Supper,” in which fantastic creatures follow a boy home in anticipation of a steak dinner
• “The Strange Shirt Spot,” the inspiration for the bathtub-ring scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back
• “The Great Henry McBride,” about a boy whose far-flung career fantasies are bested only by those of Dr. Seuss himself
An introduction by Seuss scholar Charles D. Cohen traces the history of the stories, the emergence of the writing style we now associate with Dr. Seuss, and recurring themes like the importance of the imagination or the perils of greed. This is a collection that no Seuss fan will want to miss.

- bioText: Theodor Seuss Geisel—aka Dr. Seuss—is one of the most beloved children’s book authors of all time. From The Cat in the Hat to Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, his iconic characters, stories, and art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into 45 languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss’s long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors, the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody.
