Why people recommend it

What Pet Should I Get? is a posthumously discovered and published children's picture book by the legendary author Dr. Seuss that features trademark rhyming text and whimsical illustrations exploring a classic childhood dilemma. On The Book Review podcast episode titled Inside The New York Times Book Review: ‘H Is for Hawk’, Carl Segel mentioned the newly discovered Dr. Seuss manuscript while discussing recent publishing industry news. Segel noted that there was another long-lost manuscript on the scene, enthusiastically asking listeners who else it could possibly be by other than the iconic Dr. Seuss himself. In a subsequent episode titled Inside The New York Times Book Review: ‘What Pet Should I Get?’, host Pamela Paul officially introduced the newly discovered manuscript to the audience. Paul guided a discussion about the upcoming release, noting that the new book was called What Pet Should I Get? and was scheduled to arrive in bookstores the following week courtesy of Random House. Both podcast segments underscored the massive excitement and cultural significance surrounding the unearthing of a brand-new, previously unseen work from one of history's most beloved and celebrated children's book creators.
