Discover the lost Seuss! These rarely seen Dr. Seuss stories were published in magazines in the early 1950s and are finally available in audiobook form.

What’s better than a lost treasure? Seven lost treasures! This audiobook edition features a cast of celebrity narrators who bring these stories to life. This audiobook includes:

• “The Bippolo Seed,” narrated by Neil Patrick Harris, in which a scheming feline leads a duck toward a bad decision
• “The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga,” narrated by Anjelica Huston, about a rabbit who is saved from a bear by a single eyelash
• “Gustav, the Goldfish,” narrated by Jason Lee, an early rhymed version of the Beginner Book A Fish Out of Water
• “Tadd and Todd,” narrated by Joan Cusack, about a twin who is striving to be an individual
• “Steak for Supper,” narrated by Edward Herrmann, in which fantastic creatures follow a boy home in anticipation of a steak dinner
• “The Strange Shirt Spot,” narrated by William H. Macy, the inspiration for the bathtub-ring scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back
• “The Great Henry McBride,” narrated by Peter Dinklage, about a boy whose far-flung career fantasies are bested only by those of Dr. Seuss himself

An introduction by Seuss scholar Charles D. Cohen traces the history of the stories, the emergence of the writing style we now associate with Dr. Seuss, and recurring themes like the importance of the imagination or the perils of greed. This is a collection that no Seuss fan will want to miss.
