Beloved children's book author Theodor Seuss Geisel passed away in 1991, but his widow has found a series of unpublished manuscripts that are soon to be printed by Random House. The first one, What Pet Should I Get is due out in July, and features the siblings from One Fish Two Fish trying to decide on a new pet.
