New Dr. Seuss Book Hits Shelves

Random House released Look for the Lorax, the latest book featuring Dr. Seuss' Bar-ba-Loots, Swomee Swans and the loved Lorax on Tuesday. This latest 32-page book is aimed at young readers aged 4 to 6.

Look for the Lorax was written by Tish Rabe and illustrated by Christopher Moroney and Jan Gerardi. The book is based on The Lorax, first published by famed La Jolla resident Theodor Seuss Geisel.

According to her website, Rabe has written over 125 children’s books including The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library, a series of non-fiction Dr. Seuss science books, which have sold over 4 million copies.

The book is just $3.99 and can be found online.

This is not the only Seussical book to be released in the past year. In September 2010, a collection of seven of Dr. Suess' original tales, which were never before published, were released in a 72-page collection. The book, The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories, introduced a whole new world of whimsical characters navigating some pretty zany situations. Characters include a duck named McKluck, a goldfish named Gustav, two tiny twins Tadd and Todd, and many other characters reminiscent of the beloved author’s most memorable works.
