New ed. (1958)
(3) K-3 This fiftieth-anniversary edition includes thirty-two pages of appended material, including biographical information about author Geisel, critical commentary, sketches, photographs, and Yertle book covers from around the world. Though the extra material likely won't appeal to the picture book audience, the writing is accessible enough so that slightly older readers--and their parents--will be engaged by such observations as Yertle's resemblance to Hitler.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: August, 1958
