Synopsis:
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Three classic stories featuring unforgettable Dr. Seuss characters--including the beloved Yertle the Turtle!
"I'm ruler," said Yertle, "of all that I see. But I don't see enough. That's the trouble with me." A small burp causes the downfall of a foolish king in "Yertle the Turtle," one of three modern fables in this collection of thought-provoking stories. With his signature rhyming style, Dr. Seuss offers timeless lessons on greed ("Yertle the Turtle"), vanity ("Gertrude McFuzz"), and pride ("The Big Brag") that continue to entertain and delight generation after generation. "Today the great Yertle, that Marvelous he, is King of the Mud. That is all he can see. And the turtles, of course . . . all the turtles are free."About the Author: Theodor Seuss Geisel--aka Dr. Seuss--is one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time. From The Cat in the Hat to Oh, the Places You'll Go!, his iconic characters, stories, and art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into 45 languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss's long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors, the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody.
