Packed with all the essential ingredients that have made Dr. Seuss so well-loved over the last 50 years -- riotous rhyme, bizarre creatures, zany artwork, off-the-wall humour -- If I Ran the Zoo is vintage Seuss at its very best. This paperback edition of a popular story tells of Gerald McGrew's grand designs for running his own zoo, packed with weird and wonderful creatures such as the incredible Thwerll, whole legs are snarled up in a terrible snerl, or the family of Joats, whose feet are like cows' but wear squirrel-skin coats!
