Twenty-five years after the publication of the perennial graduation gift Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, a new book by Dr. Seuss is hitting shelves today. Although legendary children’s book author and illustrator Dr. Seuss, whose real name is Theodor Geisel, passed away in 1991, several unpublished manuscripts were discovered by Audrey Geisel, his wife, and Claudia Prescott, his secretary and friend, during a house remodel in 2013 (hmmm, sounds vaguely familiar…). Random House plans to publish at least two more books based on the uncovered materials in the future (source PRNewswire)/Theresa Carpine, 7 Blog. More here.

Question: What was the last Seuss book that you read?
