Between June 1950 and December 1957 Seuss had 23 original stories first published in Redbook Magazine. At least 3 of the 23 predated the first book publications of the same titles. "Gustav the Goldfish" was the basis for the book A FISH OUT OF WATER by Helen Palmer Seuss' first wife. The 2 stories are identical in plot while Helen's book does not rhyme and is illustrated by P.D. Eastman. Six of the seven stories were featured in two Random House books of "lost" Seuss stories The Bippolo Seed and Other Stories 2011 and Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories 2014 both with forewords by Charles D Cohen. Individually and collectively these magazines are SCARCE in current commerce with few individual copies ever showing up at auction. A RARE opportunity for the dedicated Dr. Seuss collector.
