The perfect gift for Bloomers old and new.An Amazon Best Book of the Year and NY Times bestseller!Almost thirty-five years ago Berkeley Breathed launched a little-known yet laugh-inducing comic strip called "Bloom County" that was full of characters who instantly entered the public consciousness--none more so than Opus (the penguin) and Bill the Cat. Bloom County's popularity soared, it was soon syndicated nationally, had millions of daily readers, and before long its creator was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. Then, nine years later, "Bloom County" sadly came to a close. It had simply ceased being fun for Berkeley Breathed.Now, more than twenty-five years after it ended, "Bloom County" has returned in full force and humor online, with an ever-growing fanbase every bit as zealous as it was in the strip's heyday. For the comic's youngest fans, and for those who never stopped wishing for its return, here is an all-new, kid-friendly story for anyone who ever wanted to know the origin story of Bill the Cat. "Bloom County" has never been more fun!Praise for The Bill the Cat Story"The illustrations, a mixture of cartoons, eye-popping virtual paintings, and pencil sketches, will pull inquisitive audiences of all ages into the story."--Booklist"[E]xtravagantly rendered artwork in luscious color."--Publishers Weekly

The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories (Classic Seuss)
by Dr. SeussWhat&’s better than a lost treasure? Seven lost treasures! These rarely seen Dr. Seuss stories were published in magazines in the early 1950s and are finally available in book form. They include &“The Bippolo Seed&” (in which a scheming feline leads a duck toward a bad decision), &“The Rabbit, the Bear, and the Zinniga-Zanniga&” (about a rabbit who is saved from a bear by a single eyelash), &“Gustav, the Goldfish&” (an early rhymed version of the Beginner Book A Fish Out of Water), &“Tadd and Todd&” (about a twin who is striving to be an individual), &“Steak for Supper&” (in which fantastic creatures follow a boy home in anticipation of a steak dinner), &“The Strange Shirt Spot&” (the inspiration for the bathtub-ring scene in The Cat in the Hat Comes Back), and &“The Great Henry McBride&” (about a boy whose far-flung career fantasies are bested only by those of Dr. Seuss himself). An introduction by Seuss scholar Charles D. Cohen traces the history of the stories, which demonstrate an intentional move toward the writing style we now associate with Dr. Seuss.
