Library Journal Review

Here's a real treat for those who spent their formative years reading about the Cat in the Hat and the Grinch. Marschall has compiled 60 cartoon essays, 20 articles, and 30 cartoon fantasies of early Seuss. Included are the solutions to such earthshaking problems as ``How To Eject a Cow from Your Apartment,'' and notes on how to ``Punish Your Offspring Scientifically.'' Then there's the cartoon series of advertisements for Flit insecticide (``Quick Henry! The Flit!''). Here's college humor at its bestsheer silliness, outrageous characters, and fine writing. Marschall's introduction offers a background on Seuss's development as a writer, as well as a glimpse at college humor of the 1920s and 30s. Recommended.
