Among Theodor Seuss Geisel's
things set aside by his widow after his death was an unknown manuscript that
would become a book being published posthumously under his pen name, Dr Seuss.
The classic children's
author died on Sept. 24, 1991 at the age of 87. At the time, his widow, Audrey
Geisel, was renovating their home in La Jolla, California, outside San
Diego, and placed some of his work in a box. Years
later, in 2013, she and his long-time assistant, Claudia Prescott, decided to
have his drafts and sketches in the box appraised and discovered a project that
would become his 46th book.
"What Pet Should I
Get?" follows Dr. Seuss best-sellers such as "Green Eggs and
Ham" and "The Lorax." His first major success was "The Cat
in the Hat," published in 1957.
Interestingly, even though
information released about this book says it will be published by Harper Collins,
sources say there is still some dispute about publishing rights in Australia. We will keep you posted.
This may be the cover........then again it may not....!
