The Tough Coughs as He Ploughs the Dough: Early Writings and Cartoons by Dr. Seuss

This 1987 collection from William Morrow and Company gathers early, pre–Cat in the Hat cartoons and writings by Theodor Seuss Geisel, showcasing the sharp, often surreal humor that defined his work for magazines like Judge and Life before he became a household name in children’s literature. A single-volume treasury, it reveals the visual wit and satirical edge of a master cartoonist finding his voice.
