Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories Synopsis
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!

About Dr. Seuss
“I look at the world through the wrong end of a telescope.”
"A person's a person, no matter how small," Theodor Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, would say. "Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted."
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped millions of children learn to read.
Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a brewer and park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England (where he met his first wife Helen Palmer), he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children`s 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 collectively 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.
