Description

A brand new, never-before-seen rhyming romp of a picture book from the legendary Dr. Seuss!
This never-ever-before-seen picture book by Dr. Seuss about making up ones mind is the literary equivalent of buried treasure! A brother and sister visit a pet shop to pick a pet, but cant decide which one to go for. Sometimes making a choice can seem impossible to a child, and What Pet explores how it is hard to make up your mind, but sometimes you just have to do it! The cliffhanger ending will also fire childrens imaginations and provoke discussion about their own choices.

Author Bio

Theodor Seuss Geisel better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing childrens books, and his first book And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books. In all Dr. Seuss wrote more than 40 children's books during a career that spanned over 50 years, picking up numerous awards, including two Emmy awards for television and a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation along the way.
