Summary
Three favorite Dr. Seuss stories teach hilarious, yet valuable lessons about humility in this classic volume. Follow a sharp-eyed worm, a bragging bear and rabbit, a fuzzy-dailed bird, and hundreds of turtles as they blindly follow King Yertle. Yanitzia Canetti's witty rhyming translation is every bit as superb as the original
