Original glossy pictorial boards, pictorial endpapers. With dust jacket. Child's gift inscription to front pastedown. Touch of wear to spine ends, light foxing to joints, covers fresh and clean, brown marks to turn-ins as normal, a beautiful copy in very good condition in the very lightly soiled jacket, unclipped, spine sunned, faint foxing to edges and flaps. Younger & Hirsch 51.

The forty-four books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into thirty 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 for McElligot's Pool, If I Ran the Zoo, and Bartholomew and the Oobleck; the Pulitzer Prize; and eight honorary doctorates.
