It's the literary equivalent of buried treasure! Seuss
scholar/collector 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!
