Bibliographic Supplement to Dr. Seuss: American Icon
|
In my book, Dr. Seuss: American Icon, I include a bibliography of all Dr. Seuss's non-advertising work. However, Seuss was so incredibly prolific that I know that I will have missed something. So, I've created this page to correct any omissions. Should there be a second edition of the book, I will include these items and will (of course) give credit to those who've helped. -- Philip Nel, September 2003 |
