Seven lost treasures  These rarely seen Dr. Seuss stories were published in magazines in the early 1950s and are finally available in book form. They include \"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 \u003ci\u003eA Fish Out of Water\u003c\/i\u003e), \"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 \u003ci\u003eThe Cat in the Hat Comes Back\u003c\/i\u003e), and \"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, which demonstrate an intentional move toward the writing style we now associate with Dr. Seuss. Cohen also explores the themes that recur in well-known Seuss stories (like the importance of the imagination or the perils of greed). With a color palette enhanced beyond the limitations of the original magazines, this is a collection that no Seuss fan (whether scholar or second grader) will want to miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheodor Seuss Geisel--aka Dr. Seuss--is one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time.

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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributor CHARLES D. COHEN is a graduate of Haverford College and the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and has been a practicing dentist for over twenty-five years. Dr. Cohen first became enchanted with the works of Dr. Seuss as a child and he began purchasing early edition of Seuss books in college. Today, Dr. Cohen's trove of Seussiana is likely the most comprehensive private collection in the world. It is his hope to create a museum to preserve the full Seuss legacy by protecting the pieces for posterity. He is the author of the \u003ci\u003eThe Seuss, the Whole Seuss, and Nothing But the Seuss.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 11 x 8.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 27, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower Grades, K-3\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755649237280,"sku":"9780375864353","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/42917ad098bf312f0ec985a25bb08c52.webp?v=1780064741","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-bippolo-seed-and-other-lost-stories-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
