Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories by Dr. Seuss

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Three classic stories featuring unforgettable Dr. Seuss characters--including the beloved Yertle the Turtle!

 

"I'm ruler," said Yertle, "of all that I see. But I don't see enough. That's the trouble with me."

 

A small burp causes the downfall of a foolish king in "Yertle the Turtle," one of three modern fables in this collection of thought-provoking stories. With his signature rhyming style, Dr. Seuss offers timeless lessons on greed ("Yertle the Turtle"), vanity ("Gertrude McFuzz"), and pride ("The Big Brag") that continue to entertain and delight generation after generation.

 

"Today the great Yertle, that Marvelous he, is King of the Mud. That is all he can see. And the turtles, of course . . . all the turtles are free."

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was born in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children's books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937.

His greatest claim to fame was the one and only ‘The Cat in the Hat’, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
