A dog or a cat? A fish or a bird? Or maybe a crazy creature straight from the mind of Dr. Seuss! Which pet would YOU get?

Perfect for animal lovers and Seuss lovers alike, this book will delight readers young and old.

Bringing readers a previously unpublished manuscript and sketches that were discovered twenty-two years after Dr. Seuss’s death, this edition of What Pet Should I Get? features eight pages of commentary on his creative process and love of pets.

Or the dog?
The kitten?
The pup?
Oh, boy!
It is something
to make a mind up.
