The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories
The latest Dr. Seuss book-app isn't based on a real book. Instead, The Bippolo Seed is based on seven Dr. Seuss stories originally published in magazines in the 1930s, according to publisher Oceanhouse Media, which promises they give a glimpse at characters and themes that would pop up again later in his famous books.
