"Among the thousands of sketches and other archival materials stored on the Geisel Library's second floor, they found a manuscript by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, that sought to teach readers how to learn all 50 state names. It included a cover sketch featuring the Cat in the Hat and notes on art direction for a never-finished project."
"The book will include illustrations done by artist Tom Brannon in the style of Dr. Seuss, as well as a publisher's note explaining how the project evolved and showing archival images of text and sketches by Geisel, according to a press release by Random House Children's Books and Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which manages the literary and artistic works of Dr. Seuss. Geisel lived in La Jolla until his death in 1991."
