A new Dr. Seuss book to be published

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- A newly-found book by children's author Dr. Seuss, who died in 1991, will be released in July, publisher Random House announced Wednesday.

"What Pet Should I Get?" is a compilation of sketches and prose, written in the familiar cadence and rhyming format of all books by Dr. Seuss ,whose real name was Theodore Seuss Geisel. The manuscripts and artwork were found by Audrey Geisel, his wife, in their La Jolla, Calif., home after his death. She rediscovered them in 2013 and arranged for their publication.

Random House Children's Books said three books, from the found materials, are planned. Cathy Goldsmith, former art director for Dr. Seuss, estimated the material was written between 1958 and 1962, the same era of the classic book "One Fish Tow Fish Red Fish Blue Fish," published in 1960 and featuring characters, a brother d sister, also seen in "What Pet Should I Get?"

The first of the new books is scheduled to be published July 28.
