Why
boats fldo
oat?
A flat bottom
gives
water more to
push
against. Experi
ment with differe
nt
shapes of boats.
Boats float becaus
they push their e as
weight
on the water,
the water
pushes back. The
of a boat helps shape
the water
push back with
enough
force to hold
the boat up.
Next time you
go for
a swim, see how
your
body works in
water.
If you lie flat
on the
water, it is easier
to
float. If you hug
your knees and

will sink.

DR. SEUSS
WHAT PET
SHOULD I GET?
LONGTIME COLLEAGUE SHARES THE EXCITEMENT
OF DISCOVERING NEW STORIES
The recent discovery of unpublished works by Theodor Geisel—Dr. Seuss—took the book
world by storm. Found more than 20 years after the beloved children’s author’s death, What
Pet Should I Get?—the first of these new pieces to be published—was likely written between
1958-1962 and features the same brother and sister who starred in the 1960 classic One Fish
Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Recently we spoke with Cathy Goldsmith, Dr. Seuss’ former art
director and the last Random House publishing executive to work directly with him about the
treasure trove of materials. Goldsmith is currently Vice President and Associate Publishing
Director at Random House’s children’s publishing division.
As with most momentous events, someone always
asks: do you remember where you were when you
heard the news . . . and what was your reaction?
So, to ask the obvious, do you remember where you
were when you heard of the discovery of What Pet
Should I Get? and what was your reaction?
Sometime during late October 2013, I received a telephone
call from Claudia Prescott, Dr. Seuss’ longtime secretary and
friend who is now assistant to Dr. Seuss’ widow, Audrey
Geisel. Claudia and Audrey had found a box in the house
which contained materials that they thought Random House
might be interested in seeing and possibly publishing. When
14
I got off the phone, I ran down the hall to tell Mallory Loehr,
Vice President and Publisher, Random House/Golden Books
Young Readers Group. And needless to say, the following
week, Mallory and I were on a plane headed for La Jolla!
When we got to Dr. Seuss’ house, the contents of the box
were arranged in folders on the dining room table. It was a
truly amazing experience.
You worked with Ted Geisel on his last six books. What
are some of your fondest—or funniest—memories?
My fondest memory is working with Ted on Oh, the Places
You’ll Go! Ted’s normal routine was to come to New York and
personally deliver a book when he was done working on it. In
Regarding the book’s relevance today:
What Pet Should I Get? is essentially a
story about making up one’s mind—and that’s
just as hard to do today as it was 50 years ago!
this case, he was ill and unable to come to New York, so I went out to La
Jolla instead. I stayed at the house with Ted and Audrey. Over the course of
a few days, I helped him finish specifying the colors that he wanted in each
area of the book. When we were done, I carried the black line art back to
New York with me on the plane, refusing to let the stewardess put it in the
overhead compartment for fear someone would take it. I was prepared to
buy that package its own seat, if need be, to keep it with me!
What are the three most important things you learned from him?
I learned many things from Ted, among them page layout and pacing. I
learned how Ted saw and used color, which is different from the way other
author/illustrators use it. And I learned not to underestimate children.
What would people be most surprised to know about Ted Geisel?
It would probably surprise most people to know that Ted did not think that
he drew humans well. Once he became famous, if he wrote a story that
featured a human, he usually opted to have someone else illustrate the
book. Please Try to Remember the First of Octember and I Am Not Going to
Get Up Today! are two examples of such stories.
Do you have a favorite Dr. Seuss character, and who is it?
Rather than a favorite character, I have a favorite Dr. Seuss book, which is
Happy Birthday to You! I love its message of the uniqueness of each and
every person. It is also special in that it is one of only a few books where
Ted actually painted the art.
In Dr. Seuss and Mr. Geisel: A Biography, the authors say you
found an unexpected soul mate in Geisel. The story is that for
your first assignment—to devise a four-color puzzle version of
the Grinch—he gave you a color number for a pale mint green
to use for the snow instead of the white color you proposed,
and it worked. Can you share some insights into his artistic
sense with us?
9780553524260 / $17.99 Hardcover / Random House Books for Young Readers
This wasn’t actually my first time working with Ted, but it was indeed a
momentous one. The experience made it very clear that color is relative. In the
context of this puzzle, making the snow pure white simply did not work for Ted.
What would be considered pale mint green elsewhere was visually white in
the color scheme for the puzzle. I have never forgotten this.
published The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Yertle the
Turtle and Other Stories, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, Happy Birthday
to You!, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, The
Sneetches and Other Stories, and Dr. Seuss’s Sleep Book. I think Ted put
this book aside at one point and simply forgot about it. Regarding the book’s
relevance today: What Pet Should I Get? is essentially a story about making
up one’s mind—and that’s just as hard to do today as it was 50 years ago!
You believe What Pet Should I Get? was written between 19581962. Any idea why it wasn’t presented to be published? And
how remarkable is it that a book written around 50 years ago still
holds relevance and appeal today?
Can you give us any teasers about the other books you plan to
publish from his rediscovered texts and sketches?
We know that Ted often worked on more than one project at a time,
sometimes putting one aside to finish another. From a publishing standpoint,
the years between 1957 and 1962 were among Ted’s more prolific ones. He
Sorry, but no teasers! I will say, however, that we are all very excited about
our future publishing plans.

Raising Emotionally Healthy Boys
Michael ReistTMAL
As society redefines our ideas of masculinity,
the lessons parents teach children are lagging

emotional expression. Raising emotionally
healthy children is not just about what

THE ADVENTURES AT ONE DUCK DAM
Gary Rooks
$13.80 • 40 pages • 978-1-941736-81-4
What adventures await Gumboot at his new home?
Find out as you follow this little lost duck as he searches for a new home in Central Queensland.
Accompany a little lost duck called Gumboot as he faces exciting
adventures – and misadventures – along the way in his effort
to find a new home. Join him in his search that leads him to a
small pond on a farm in Central Queensland, Australia. There,
Gumboot goes on to befriend the Tilba Clan who is a flock of
chooks led by a rather bossy Muddy Puddles, the grumpy old
dog. He also builds a special friendship with the little girl from
the big house on the hill. Will he ever find himself at home in
this new home? Come and join Gumboot in The Adventures at
One Duck Dam.
About the Author
Originally a fire fighter of 30 years in Australia, Gary Rooks
enjoys the outdoors with his family greatly. This outdoors lifestyle led him to go down the line of
writing articles for various magazines both in Australia and occasionally in New Zealand. Finally,
this path led him to write his soon-to-be-published book Catfish Don’t Count, a comedy of
misadventures related to fishing. He didn’t really think about writing children’s stories until his
eight-year-old daughter Leilani asked him to write her a story. And that is how The Adventures at
One Duck Dam came about. Originally this story was just for her, until he was persuaded to try
and publish it by others. To Leilani’s delight, it was successful. Leilani is a real inspiration to him
and convinced him to write the sequel, The Wallaby Mob Arrive.

When Ms. Mya’s classroom starts to get too chaotic it is
time to gather everyone for a lesson on expectations.
“Prentice’s brightly colored illustrations capture the
exuberance and innocence of these ethnically diverse children
wonderfully—they are not being naughty; they are just
exploring and being kids, and once the
expectations are explained, they abide by them.
A reassuring explanation of both expectations \
in general and the behaviors expected \
of students in school.”

“A young boy sees things a little differently than others.
Noah has endless curiosity about how and why things
work. Books open the door to those answers. But there is
one question the books do not explain. When the wind
comes whistling by, where does it go? Worthington’s
sensitive exploration leaves readers with their own set
of questions and perhaps gratitude for all types of
perspective. An invitation to wonder, imagine and look at
everything (humans included) in a new way.”

tell the truth and not hurt other people’s feelings? Fall
in love with spunky Wisteria Jane as she learns about

Why
boats fldo
oat?
A flat bottom
gives
water more to
push
against. Experi
ment with differe
nt
shapes of boats.
Boats float becaus
they push their e as
weight
on the water,
the water
pushes back. The
of a boat helps shape
the water
push back with
enough
force to hold
the boat up.
Next time you
go for
a swim, see how
your
body works in
water.
If you lie flat
on the
water, it is easier
to
float. If you hug
your knees and

will sink.
