#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pick a pet with Dr. Seuss in this silly tale of cats, dogs, and more!

A dog or a cat? A fish or a bird? Or maybe a crazy creature straight from the mind of Dr. Seuss! Which pet would YOU get? A trip to the pet store turns into a hilarious struggle when two kids must choose one pet to take home... but every time they think they see an animal they like, they find something even better! Perfect for animal lovers and Seuss lovers alike, this book will delight readers young and old.

Bringing readers a previously unpublished manuscript and sketches that were discovered twenty-two years after Dr. Seuss’s death, this edition of What Pet Should I Get? features eight pages of commentary on his creative process and love of pets.

The cat?
Or the dog?
The kitten?
The pup?
Oh, boy!
It is something
to make a mind up.
