In this funny and entertaining book by Dr. Seuss, a boy weighs the pros and cons of owning various animal features, such as the antlers of a deer, the spout of a whale, and the trunk of an elephant, only to conclude that it is Better to be himself. With charming illustrations by New York cartoonist B. Tobey, this is a wacky, eye-opening story that early readers will want to hear again and again.
