In this delightful tale, Morris McGurk dreams about staging
the world’s greatest show, packed with the most tremendous,
stupendous acts ever seen, from the Spotted Atrocious – a beast
most ferocious – to the Drum-Tummied Snumm from the country of
Frumm.This delightful book forms part of the second stage in
HarperCollins’ major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch
of 10 more titles in August 2003, such all-time favourites as How
the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? and Dr.
Seuss’ Sleep Book boast bright new covers that incorporate much
needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents
to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding
readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for
older, more fluent readers to enjoy. If I Ran the Circus belongs to
the Yellow Back Book range.

Theodor Seuss Geisel - better known to
millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss is quite simply
the most beloved children’s book author in the world.
Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children,
Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness
of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he
helped millions of kids learn to read.
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts,
on March 2, 1904. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1925,
he went to Oxford University, intending to acquire a doctorate in
literature.
Geisel published his first children''s book, And to Think That I
Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937, after 27 publishers rejected
it.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, an Academy Award, three
Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards, and three Caldecott Honors,
Geisel wrote and illustrated 44 books. While Theodor Geisel died on
September 24, 1991, Dr. Seuss lives on, inspiring generations of
children of all ages to explore the joys of reading.
