[b:Dr. Seuss|7780|The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1320429156s/7780.jpg|10830]'s first children's book!

He knows that when he gets home, his dad will ask him "what did you see?" So, he uses his imagination to turn the horse and wagon into something far more extravagant. He needed an interesting story to tell when he got home, and what an interesting story it'll be!
Interestingly enough, various publishers initially rejected this Dr. Seuss story - they didn't want a book that promoted daydreaming!
Another interesting fact: the "Chinese man" that appears at the end of the book was originally referred to as the "Chinaman"in earlier editions (slightly better, but still kind of weird...)
Overall, I really enjoyed this classic.
