Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near fine. First edition. Included is Dr. Seuss' very first children's story, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," which is pulled from publication because it has outdated portrayals of Asian people. These include descriptions of a character described as Chinese as having slanted eyes, eating bowls of rice, and wearing conical hats. It also captions an illustration of a man as "a Chinese man who eats with sticks." The book, in particular this section, was actually altered in 1978 by Dr. Seuss himself: "I had a gentleman with a pigtail. I colored him yellow and called him a 'Chinaman.' That's the way things were 50 years ago," the late author once said. "In later editions, I refer to him as a 'Chinese man.' I have taken the color out of the gentleman and removed the pigtail and now he looks like an Irishman." First printing of this edition with minor creasing and browning to the edges of dust-jacket. 8¼" - 11½". book.
