What Pet Should I Get?

by Dr. Seuss

This never-ever-before-seen picture book by Dr. Seuss about making up one’s mind is the literary equivalent of buried treasure! What happens when a brother and sister visit a pet store to pick a pet? Naturally, they can’t choose just one! The tale captures a classic childhood moment–choosing a pet–and uses it to illuminate a life lesson: that it is hard to make up your mind, but sometimes you just have to do it!

An Editor’s Note at the end discusses Dr. Seuss’s creative process, his interest in animals, and Seussian creatures throughout his work.
