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.

The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories

I love this story it's funny & tarifing and impossible but I love it 💖

Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss?

Who doesn't love Dr Seuss? (Well, maybe Grinches.)

I was so excited when I saw that there were new stories out there that I got the audiobook from Audible. (The different celebrity narrators didn't hurt either.)

The stories had all the elements you came to expect in a Dr. Seuss story. The delightful rhymes, the peculiar situations, the strange animals, and the wonderful endings.

The commentary by the "finder" of the stories was also a treat. His description of what educators thought about how children learn words was so ludicrous I found it hard to think anyone felt that way.

my kids love it!

so much fun to listen to! Narrators are great!
histories are fun ,we love it.

So hard to read is The Bippolo Seed

For the most part the reading is very good, but there are a number of times where the intended cadence is broken due to the odd mid-sentence changes in what was intended. These changes, to me, are one of the unusual and interesting features of Dr. Seuss's writing, so I was disappointed to hear them missed at times.

It may not bother most people though, and despite that issue I still give it a high overall performance score.

...a PDF of the images from the book would be nice though!

Great voice actors

Read with perfection. I loved these stories! Great morals in ever single one. Perfect for the entire family

Great Dr. Seuss stories

One of my favorite Dr. Seuss story collections. I like how each story is ready by a different voice so it keeps each story individual and interesting, especially for children .

Chapters are not Titled.

What would it take to put the book titles for each chapter. It would make it easier to find the story my child wants.
