Theodore Seuss Geisel (1904-1991) wrote and illustrated a number of children's b ooks as Dr Seuss starting in 1937. From 1957 onward some of these belonged to a special series of books for very young readers--"Beginner Books"--which used ve ry limited vocabulary and sentences, and had little in the way of plot. (But wer e no less charming for all that.) Those are marked "BB" below. Two of them were marketed as "books for adults", although they're not especially inappropriate fo r children.

If you think you remember a Dr Seuss book but can't find it on this list, you mi ght look for books by Helen Palmer, his first wife (A Fish Out of Water, and oth ers) or by P. D. Eastman, one of Seuss's more notable proteges (Go Dog Go, and o thers).

In addition to the books, Dr Seuss published a number of illustrated short stori

es in Redbook magazine (perhaps elsewhere) during the 1950s. SOME of these were reprinted in the "...and other stories" collections above, or expanded and relea sed as separate books. The rest have never been reprinted and are exceedingly ha rd to find. This is a possibly incomplete list. The number of magazine pages to each story is listed before the date.

1. Gustav the Goldfish, 4 (Jun 1950)* 2. If I Ran The Zoo, 3 (Jul 1950)** 3. Tad and Todd, 3 (Aug 1950) 4. Marco Comes Late, 2 (Sep 1950) 5. How Officer Pat Saved the Whole Town, 3 (Oct 1950) 6. Steak for Supper, 3 (Nov 1950) 7. The Big Brag, 2 (Dec 1950)** 8. Horton and the Kwuggerbug, 2 (Jan 1951) 9. The Rabbit, the Bear and the Zinniga-Zanniga, 2 (Feb 1951) 10.

* Developed into a separate book, "A Fish Out of Water", by Helen Palmer ** Expanded and released as a separate book

*** Collected (and in some cases expanded) in one of the short story collections . **** Published simultaneously with its release as a full-length book.

That leaves at least 14 stories that haven't been published in any form since th e 1950s.
