Description

The king''s beloved red stilts are stolen, and he is too distraught to do his job. Patrol Cats laze around. Water level threatens to rise and flood kingdom.
First published in 1939. Written in prose instead of rhyme (unlike Seuss's later works). Subjects that Dr. Seuss was passionate about throughout his life were: duty (as in and ); the abuse of power (as in and ); deceit (as in and )—and even cats (as in and )!
