Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Four “lost” Dr. Seuss tales starring familiar faces, including Horton the Elephant and an early version of the Grinch!

“It happened last May, on a very nice day
While the Elephant Horton was walking, they say,
Just minding his business . . . just going his way . . .”

First published in magazines in the 1950s and available together for the first time, these four stories showcase the author’s signature Seussian charm and wit. Featuring some returning characters, as well as an introduction by renowned Seuss scholar Charles D. Cohen, this collection takes readers deeper into the world of Dr. Seuss. The book includes:

• “Horton and the Kwuggerbug,” which adds to the legend of Horton’s integrity
• “Marco Comes Late,” about an amazing imagination at work
• “How Officer Pat Saved the Whole Town,” in which disaster is most narrowly avoided
• “The Hoobub and the Grinch,” about a summer Grinch who’s just as devious as his Christmas cousin

With a color palette enhanced beyond that of the magazines in which the stories originally appeared, this volume of lost treasures is a perfect gift for young readers and a must-have for Seuss collectors of all ages!

Goodreads review by Calista on July 05, 2018

This is a collection of 4 stories published in Redbook - a magazine in the 50s that were pretty much forgotten. He did edit some of them before his death. All the stories and artwork is his. They found the old magazines and lifted the stories to publish. He even had a deal to publish 'How Officer Pa......more

Goodreads review by Becky on October 07, 2014

Since this is a collection of four separate stories, I'll review each individually. (Read the introduction for fun facts like which one of these was slated to be a book but got ousted by a turtle after a cat got rave reviews.)

Goodreads review by Ronyell on December 31, 2014

Who would have believed that I would find some stories written by Dr. Seuss that were actually lost for many decades? I was quite surprised when I picked up the latest book by Dr. Seuss called “Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories” and read the stories that have not been published for dec......more

Goodreads review by Kate on May 17, 2022

Pros: cool art, more Dr. Suess (because there's never enough) and Horton is my favorite cartoon character. Cons: my kids are calling each other kwuggerbugs. I'm reviewing the read and listen e-book edition. Very cute, good for advancing readers. There are a lot of silly nonsense words (clim, clum,) th......more

Goodreads review by Mark on March 05, 2021

This book contains four stories that Dr. Seuss had published in magazines early in his career but were never released in book form. One features Horton, while two others take us to Mulberry Street. The final, which is just two pages, features a very slick salesman. I was leery of this book since it w......more
