Description
Four “lost” Dr. Seuss tales starring familiar faces, including Horton the Elephant and an early version of the Grinch!
“It happened last May, on a very nice day
While the Elephant Horton was walking, they say,
Just minding his business . . . just going his way . . .”
First published in magazines in the 1950s and available together for the first time, these four stories showcase the author’s signature Seussian charm and wit. Featuring some returning characters, as well as an introduction by renowned Seuss scholar Charles D. Cohen, this collection takes readers deeper into the world of Dr. Seuss. The book includes:
• “Horton and the Kwuggerbug,” which adds to the legend of Horton’s integrity
• “Marco Comes Late,” about an amazing imagination at work
• “How Officer Pat Saved the Whole Town,” in which disaster is most narrowly avoided
• “The Hoobub and the Grinch,” about a summer Grinch who’s just as devious as his Christmas cousin
With a color palette enhanced beyond that of the magazines in which the stories originally appeared, this volume of lost treasures is a perfect gift for young readers and a must-have for Seuss collectors of all ages!
