In this classic children's tale, Seuss encourages children to be grateful for what they have, explaining that it could be a lot worse. He gives a lot of whimsical examples of people who are a lot worst off than the reader!
This text combines a number of rhyming poems told by a wise old man, who tells the reader about a number of unlucky and unfortunate creatures.
Some examples of unlucky situations include being in a traffic jam in Ga-Zayt, working on the rickety Bungle-Bung Bridge, and living in Ga-Zair, a place where the rooms in a person's house are very far away from each other. Seuss also tells the stories of different characters and creatures, including the Schlottz, who has a tangled tail.
