The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs the Dough

The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs the Dough By Dr Seuss

This book is an amazing research book for those looking to understand more about Dr. Seuss, and what he did before he was known as Dr. Seuss. Copy written in 1987 this book is a compiled masterpiece of Dr. Seuss's early writings and cartoons. Before Dr. Seuss wrote the Cat in the Hat, Ted Geisel was a writer and cartoonist for humour magazine. His words were nonsensical and very funny, and his pictures were inspired by all sorts of different subjects from visual puns to odd scientific understandings. 

Ted Geisel was also involved in famous presidential campaigns, and wrote essays and striking cartoons which greatly resembled the times and helped democrats in gaining their victory. This book is really a gem to find for any Dr. Seuss fan and very interesting. I would recommend picking it up and giving it a read if given the chance, or even just looking at the illustrations can be quite refreshing,  considering they are quite a bit more detailed then the children's book stuff that most of us are familiar with.
