After the death of Dr. Seuss in 1991, the world figured that any future Dr. Seuss books would be nonexistent because well, it would only make sense. Think again. A new creation by Dr. Seuss was recently made public, as was the compelling story revealing how the discovery was made. "What Pet Should I Get?" is about two children, a brother and sister who were also included in Dr. Seuss's early work, "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish." The plot revolves around these two siblings and their adventure to find a new pet. Throughout the book, the reader will notice that the various Seuss pets look very familiar. This is because these animals have appeared in other books written by Dr. Seuss.

The conflict in this story is of course that the siblings don't know which pet to get, hence the title of the book. From birds, to fish, to dogs, to cats, all of these animals have something unique about them which is why it is so hard to just choose one. There is also a great lesson to learn from this story: sometimes it may be hard to just choose one option, but you have to do it!

So how did anyone end up finding out about "What Pet Should I Get?" It was the year 2013 during the fall season when Random House, the largest general-interest trade book company in the world, gets a call about the discovery of a "box filled with something." The box was found at Dr. Seuss's home, by his widow Audrey. Cathy Goldsmith, Random House's artistic director, was the one who got the call from Audrey as Audrey thought that Goldsmith would be interested in seeing what's inside. She guessed right. It was an almost complete manuscript including drawings and texts by Dr. Seuss himself, of "What Pet Should I Get?" Due to Dr. Seuss's abundant amount of children’s books and Goldsmith's experience with working with Dr. Seuss, Goldsmith was able to contribute the finishing touches into completing "What Pet Should I Get?" and putting it on store shelves.

What's so great about this recent release of "What Pet Should I Get?" is that it brings back so many childhood memories. Just to name a few of Dr. Seuss's most popular books: "Cat In The Hat," "Green Eggs And Ham," and "Fox in Socks." You'll notice that all of his books involve animals and children. It may seem that this new release sums up all of his past books while combining all of his existing animal characters into just one story.

Now knowing a little bit more about "What Pet Should I Get?" and its background story, you should read the book. While reading the book, you'll find how joyful and powerful a children's story can be. Not to mention, there is a cliffhanger at the end. Dr. Seuss has done it again. (See what I did there.)
