The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost StoriesWhat's better than a lost treasure? Seven lost treasures These rarely seen Dr. Seuss stories were published in magazines in the early 1950s and are finally available in book form. They include "The Bippolo Seed" (in which a scheming feline leads a duck toward a bad decision), "The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga Zanniga" (about a rabbit who is saved from a bear by a single eyelash), "Gustav, the Goldfish" (an early rhymed version of the Beginner

What's better than a lost treasure? Seven lost treasures These rarely seen Dr. Seuss stories were published in magazines in the early 1950s and are finally available in book form. They include "The Bippolo Seed" (in which a scheming feline leads a duck toward a bad decision), "The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga" (about a rabbit who is saved from a bear by a single eyelash), "Gustav, the Goldfish" (an early rhymed version of the Beginner Book A Fish Out of Water), "Tadd and Todd" (about a twin who is striving to be an individual), "Steak for Supper" (in which fantastic creatures follow a boy home in anticipation of a steak dinner), "The Strange Shirt Spot" (the inspiration for the bathtub-ring scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back), and "The Great Henry McBride" (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, which demonstrate an intentional move toward the writing style we now associate with Dr. Seuss. Cohen also explores the themes that recur in well-known Seuss stories (like the importance of the imagination or the perils of greed). With a color palette enhanced beyond the limitations of the original magazines, this is a collection that no Seuss fan (whether scholar or second grader) will want to miss.

Super entertaining toy if your dog likes balls and hunting
Color: Aqua
Love this! We got a similar ball for our dog about 6 months ago and she has been obsessed! We have 2 dogs, one hasa zero interest whatsoever in this toy (as expected) and the other will bark at it while its sitting on the charger so she can get it. Dogs, amirite? lol anyway, the issue we had with the previous one was that it was so loud on our wood floors because it was a solid plastic. The Cheerble ball has made a huge difference in sound for us! The ball itself is very quiet. When it rolls or bounces on something other than the floor you can barely hear it. With the previous ball we had, we couldn't be on the phone or watching a movie, etc if our dog was playing with the ball because it was so dang loud but this solves our problems! Its made of a hard silicone like material (thing a Nerf ball or something) so it remains quiet. The battery lasts as listed and its easy to charge. It took some time to figure out which setting our dog liked the best but after that it was smooth sailing. My only only negative to this is that the power on/off switch is inside so you have to twist it open to turn it off and on. The ball will naturally get some saliva on it so its kinda gross to put your hands all over it once its been played with and I'd prefer a button on the outside but understand why that isn't possible with this design. This ball is perfect if your dog is ball obsessed like ours. Shes a pitt/black lab/aussie mix so ball and hunting/chasing lizards are her favorite past times. If your dog prefers ripping toys apart to kill the squeaker (our other dog) or chewing bones, they may not take to this. Ball is life at our house and this ball is at the top of our pups list, there isn't a day that passes that she doesn't start her daily routine of seeking this out and begging us to turn it on. Highly recommend for the right pup!

Great toy
Color: Blue
Great toy, too bad my Shih Tzu is afraid of it. I love the way the movement is subtle and random.
