Nearly the full first shelf, all in good condition.

1. The Cat in the Hat Comes Back — Dr. Seuss — The Cat eats cake in the bath and leaves a pink ring, and Little Cats A through Z come out of his hat to clean it. The sequel, with Voom.
2. Oh, the Places You’ll Go! — Dr. Seuss — You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes: the last book Seuss published, and the one given at every graduation since 1990.
3. The Cat in the Hat — Dr. Seuss — Written on a dare to use only 236 words a first-grader knows, and it changed children’s books. The fish, the kite, the mess, and Thing One and Thing Two.
4. The Foot Book — Dr. Seuss — Left foot, right foot, wet foot, dry foot. The first Bright and Early book, for the youngest readers.
5. Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? — Dr. Seuss — A book of wonderful noises: moo, buzz, pop, and the sound of a hippopotamus chewing gum.
6. One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish — Dr. Seuss — Counting, colours, and a Wump with one hump. The nonsense book kids memorise first.
7. Ten Apples Up on Top! — Theo LeSieg (Dr. Seuss) — A lion, a dog and a tiger balancing apples on their heads in a race. A counting book with a chase in it.
8. Green Eggs and Ham — Dr. Seuss — Sam-I-am will not give up, and the other fellow will not try them, in a box, with a fox, on a train, in the rain. Fifty words, and the best-selling Seuss of all.
9. Dr. Seuss’s ABC — Dr. Seuss — Big A, little a, what begins with A? Aunt Annie’s alligator. The alphabet book with the zizzer-zazzer-zuzz.
10. Horton Hears a Who! — Dr. Seuss — A person’s a person, no matter how small: Horton the elephant and the speck of dust with a city on it. The one with the moral everybody quotes.
11. Fox in Socks — Dr. Seuss — Tweetle beetles battling with paddles in a puddle in a bottle. The tongue-twister book, with the warning on the front.
12. I Can Read with My Eyes Shut! — Dr. Seuss — The more that you read, the more things you will know. The Cat in the Hat on why reading matters.
13. There’s a Wocket in My Pocket! — Dr. Seuss — A nooth grush on the toothbrush, a yottle in the bottle. Rhyming nonsense creatures around the house.
14. The Sneetches and Other Stories — Dr. Seuss — Star-bellied and plain-bellied Sneetches, and the machine that makes money from both. Seuss on prejudice, with The Zax and What Was I Scared Of? alongside.
15. Hop on Pop — Dr. Seuss — The simplest Seuss there is: three-letter words and a pup on a cup. For the very first reader.
16. The Lorax — Dr. Seuss — The Once-ler, the Truffula trees, and the Lorax who speaks for them. The environmental book Seuss said was his best, and the one that got banned by logging towns.
17. And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street — Dr. Seuss — Marco’s walk home becomes a parade with elephants and a brass band. The 1937 book that started it all; now withdrawn by the estate, so this edition is the one to have.
