Failed Dr. Seuss Book Titles
Dr. Seuss’ birthday was yesterday, so this entry is late. Then again, so is the good doctor, so I say it’s a wash.
It could be argued that Mr. Geisel contributed more to children’s literature than perhaps any other person (sorry, Franklin W. Dixon). But even a genius of his magnitude doesn’t bat a thousand. How do I know this? Because I recently discovered a list of unproduced Seuss book concepts, ideas that didn’t make the cut.
I think you’ll see why.
