About This Item
First Edition, Early State. Near fine in a very good dustjacket. Pictorial cover has slight wear to corners, spine caps, and edges, but otherwise just about fine internally; clean, bright. Dustjacket very good, with some creases and closed tears along the edges, and a small chip at the head of the spine. List of 10 Dr. Seuss titles on back cover chronologically listed from 'And to Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street' (first published 1937) to "Horton Hears a Who!" (first published in 1954), indicating this is a very early printing published prior to his next title ("If I Ran the Circus") which came out in 1956. 11.1 X 7.9 X 0.5 inches; 64 pp. Overall, a very good copy of this controversial Dr. Seuss title that was recently announced would no longer be published by his estate.
Synopsis
On Beyond Zebra! is an illustrated children's book by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. This book fits into the genre of literary nonsense. The young narrator, not content with the confines of the ordinary alphabet, invents additional letters beyond Z, with a fantastic creature corresponding to each new letter. The creatures include favorites such as the Floob-Boober-Bab-Boober-Bubs, large buoyant heads which float serenely in the water.
