My Friend is Sad-An Elephant and Piggie Book

Description

As topical today as when it was first published in 1938,
is the story of a young boy (the same one featured in the Caldecott Honor Award-winner
) and his unjust treatment at the hands of a king. Written in unrhymed prose,
is one of Dr. Seuss’s earliest works, and while it may not be as well-known as his other stories, the book addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in
and
); rivalry (as in
); and of course, zany good humor (as in
and all the other books he wrote and illustrated)!
