I have written before how Dr Seuss, who died in 1991, was one of the top earners when it comes to book sales. How can he be issuing a new book? As with many cases when the family has gone through his notes and sketches, they found some of his half-completed projects as well as one that he had labelled “The Pet Shop”. That book now forms the basis of a new book called “What Pet Should I Get” and it will be launched on 28 July. They are obviously expecting it to be popular because the initial print run is already 1 million copies in the hard cover format! I still he is the best children’s author of all time and I look forward to see this book. For those who have not read Dr Seuss’ books to their children, apart from missing out, you would not have had the chance to discover how his books are written in such a way that an adult can also derive tremendous enjoyment out of reading the book. I recently discovered that he wrote his book, “Oh, The Places You Will Go” in his final months when he was dying and in fact his publisher had to colour in some of the pictures for him and that makes the advice contained in that book all the more poignant.

I did not read the books, but saw some of the movies like Cat in the Hat, Lorax (my favourite) and Horton hears a Who. I enjoyed these movies based on the books - would have liked to read the books though. Will surely be on the lookout for the new release.
