Lost Dr. Seuss stories to be published in September

[csziggy]

Seven stories published by Theodor Geisel five decades ago will find their way to readers in a new book coming from Random House. "The Bippolo Seed" is coming to shelves Sept. 27.

The stories were published in Redbook in 1950 and 1951, and included simple drawings which will be enlarged and more fully colored in the new collection."The stories are complete and satisfying -- they are not at all second-class citizens," Cathy Goldsmith, vice president and associate publishing director of Random House/Golden Books Young Readers Group, told Publishers Weekly.

It will be the first time the seven stories in "The Bippolo Seed" have appeared in a book. Or as Dr. Seuss might say: One story, two story, old story, new story.

8. If you are interested in good excellent childrens books second hand I

tell you to go over the BetterWorldBooks.com.... I got some great secondhand books by Dr Suess cheap. Like $3.58. Great buys and the books are in pretty good shape. I order from them all the time. Many books come from libraries. Plus the place is eco friendly. Try it.

10. Thanks for the recommendation!

I always gave books to the nieces and nephews. They all had far too many toys and I did not want to add to the piles. But books always were popular. Since we started getting nephews, I was too broke to give anything but I can this year so I need to start book giving to the new generation.

sell, they donate one to someone in need. Here's some info about their Book for Book program: http://www.betterworldbooks.com/go/book-for-book?utm_source=Email&utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_medium=n2011-08-15&utm_term=b4b-txt&utm_content=Book_for_Book

13. 'From a chance encounter with a three-year-old

who couldn't yet read but had memorized memorized his Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose, Geisel had realized the importance of using rhyme as a read-aloud, auditory experience. He'd observed German and Japanese children reared on propaganda during World War II and began to realize that, instead of that negative influence, he had a skill that could make a positive difference.'
