Book Details

Enter the wonderfully wacky world of Dr. Seuss, where rational thought is turned around and anything can happen- literally. Hidden in the pages of his book, Please, Try to Remember the First of Octember, children find a valuable lesson in patience and waiting. At the same time, it also teaches that some wishes just may not ever come true, as well as a practical lesson in learning the moths of the year. Unusual for Dr. Seuss, he originally published this children’s book under his pen name of Theo LeSieg. However, it still retains that familiarly enjoyable rhyming style so recognizable of this classic children’s author, and despite having a different illustrator than he normally used, they are just as colorful and fun as ever.
