Harper Lee's "Go Set a Watchman" isn't the only book out this summer that reveals an earlier look at beloved characters. Released on Tuesday, "What Pet Should I Get?" by Dr. Seuss features the same siblings seen in the 1960 classic "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish."
But unlike some fans of Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," those who love Dr. Seuss are unlikely to be disappointed, says Donald Pease, author of two books about Seuss and an English professor at the author's alma mater, Dartmouth College.
Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Geisel, wrote and illustrated more than 40 children's books during his lifetime.
Soon after his death in 1991, his widow, Audrey, set aside a box filled with pages of text and sketches during a home remodeling project.
In 2013, she and Geisel's longtime art director found the material again when they were cleaning out his office space, including the full text and illustrations for "What Pet Should I Get?"
Pease sees the book as a "sibling" to "One Fish, Two, Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish," and says they should be read together. He suggests Seuss never published it because it ended up being a jumping off point for the "One Fish," book.
In new book, a brother and sister consider several real-world pets at a pet store _ dogs, cats, fish _ but then start to imagine fanciful creatures such as a "yent" in a tent. "One Fish, Two Fish," is full of imaginary animals.
Unlike the prolific Seuss, Harper Lee had only published one book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning "To Kill a Mockingbird," before "Go Set a Watchman" was released earlier this month. Completed before "Mockingbird" but set 20 years later, critics and readers were startled to find the heroic Atticus Finch of "Mockingbird" disparaging blacks and condemning the Supreme Court's decision to outlaw segregation in public schools.
In contrast, Pease says the new Seuss book joins other Seuss classics such as "The Sneetches and Other Stories" and "Green Eggs and Ham" in affirming social justice and racial equality.
