C. C. BlackMr Ian
This is the famously posthumous Seuss discovery, reconstructed by his widow and last editor at Random House. It's not top-drawer Seuss, which may be why he buried it beneath another, simpler, wackier project: "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." But it surely has its delights. For adults, one of those bonuses is a brief description of Ted Geisel's working methods, his art, and the history of this book's reconstruction.

This book is a big disappointment. I'm a huge Dr. Seuss fan. Good messages, great wordplay. That said, this book has neither. Its very short, and is not all that interesting. Save your money. Take it out of the library, read it once. That's all you need. Get If I ran The Circus. I have read that book a hundred times.
My ThoughtsMeatya
My three year old preschoolers enjoyed this story as much as I did. It has everything one expects in a Dr. Seuss book, fantastic creatures and creative language, and the message of making careful decisions is a well presented.

Wonderful wonderful book! When I was young, my grandmother gave me the 1st Dr. Seuss book--it had just been published.-and I fell in love with "And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street". Consequently, I have in my possession, all but 3 or 4 of his "big" books and many of the smaller "I Can Read" books. My children grew up on these books and now my grandchildren are reading them too--including my 15 year old grandson. When "What Pet Should I Get?" arrived, they all gathered around and we read it together and tried to guess the pet. I hope that more will be found and published! And although I have collected articles about him over the years, the last 8 pages of the book are a wonderful glimpse into the life of a very special man and author!

I’m sorry, but if I had known they weren’t even going to tell you what pet they decided on, I wouldn’t have bought the book. The whole time I’m reading and pointing out the different animals to my son and asking, “which one do you think they are going to get?” Just to find out the book doesn’t tell us. The entire thing is about what pet to get and they don’t even tell you. It’s crap. I literally said that out loud when I finished the book. I get using your imagination, but not when its what the whole book is about.
