It''s the literary equivalent of buried treasure! Seuss
scholarcollector Charles D. Cohen has hunted down seven rarely
seen stories by Dr. Seuss. Originally published in magazines
between 1948 and 1959, they include "The Bear, the Rabbit, and the
Zinniga-Zanniga " about a rabbit who is saved from a bear with a
single eyelash!; "Gustav the Goldfish" an early, rhymed version
of the Beginner Book A Fish Out of Water; "Tadd and Todd" a tale
passed down via photocopy to generations of twins; "Steak for
Supper" about fantastic creatures who follow a boy home in
anticipation of a steak dinner; "The Bippolo Seed" in which a
scheming feline leads an innocent duck to make a bad decision;
"The Strange Shirt Spot" the inspiration for the bathtub-ring
scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back; and "The Great Henry
McBride" about a boy whose far-flung career fantasies are only
bested by those of the real Dr. Seuss himself.
In an introduction to the collection, Cohen traces the history of
these stories, which demonstrate an intentional and significant
change that led to the writing style we associate with Dr. Seuss
today. Cohen also explores these stories'' themes that recur in
better-known Seuss stories like the importance of the imagination,
or the perils of greed. With a color palette that has been
enhanced beyond the limitations of the original magazines in which
they appeared, this is a collection of stories that no Seuss fan
whether scholar or second-grader will want to miss!
