LONGTIME COLLEAGUE SHARES THE EXCITEMENT OF DISCOVERING NEW STORIES The recent discovery of unpublished works by Theodor Geisel—Dr.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. 15 Open Their Eyes to the Adventure of Reading It’s Raining Bats & Frogs Tractor Mac Harvest Time Carl’s Halloween Flutter & Hum/Aleteo y Zumbido Animal Poems Fright Club Fab Four Friends The Boys Who Became the Beatles Rebecca Colby Steven Henry, illustrator What’s a witch to do when a rainstorm threatens the Halloween parade?

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. Soaring to New Heights in Kids’ and YA!

A reassuring explanation of both expectations \ in general and the behaviors expected \ of students in school.” $15.95 • 978-1-60554-362-8 – Kirkus Reviews Noah Chases the Wind $16.95 • 978-1-60554-356-7 “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.” – Kirkus Reviews Wisteria Jane Featuring art from New York Times-bestselling illustrator Ard Hoyt, this funny and heartwarming story comes to life.
