Description:

Published by Random House, New York, Toronto and Canada, 1950. First Edition, Later Printing $2.50. If I Ran The Zoo was the fourth post-war children’s book written and illustrated by Theodor Seuss Geisel, and eighth overall. At this point in his career, Seuss was considered one of the top children’s book illustrators. From the back dust jacket flap: “Although listed in Who’s Who as a man who juggles many careers, ranging from advertising and Movie Making to University Lecturing, Dr. Seuss is now spending more and more time at his favorite occupation – turning out wonderful nonsense for children. As a result, the children of America are having more fun . . . getting more Seuss stories to read in magazines . . . getting more Seuss records to play on their phonographs.” Second and later printings include an eighth line which references the Redbook Magazine appearance.
