Summary
Miss Bonkers must prove that she has taught her students at the Diffendoofer School how to think-or they will all be sent to a dreary and horrible place known as Flobbertown. This fantastical story was originally created by Dr. Seuss and completed after his death by poet Jack Prelutsky and illustrator Lane Smith.

Media Reviews
"The magic here is the marriage of Seuss, Prelutsky, and Lane: The Prelutsky voice is delightfully obvious, but he has blended whole slices of Seussian verses into his lines, while Smith has laced the crazy, delicious colored artwork with cameos of characters and books that any Dr. Seuss's fans will recognize....a model collaboration."
-- Kirkus

Publisher's Notes
Started by Seuss, finished by Prelutsky, and splendiferously illustrated by Lane Smith, this is the children's book publishing event of the year! Big--56 pages--and bursting with energy, here is a joyous ode to individuality, starring an unsinkable teacher named Miss Bonkers and quirky little Diffendoofer School, which must prove it has taught its students how to think--or have them sent to dreary Flobbertown. Included is an introduction by Dr. Seuss's longtime editor explaining how the book came to be and reproducing Dr. Seuss's 1989 original pencil sketches and hand-printed notes for the book--a true find for all Seuss collectors. In Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! Jack Prelutsky and Lane Smith pay homage to Dr. Seuss in their own distinctive ways. The result is the union of three one-of-a-kind voices in a brand-new, completely original book that is greater than the sum of its parts. For all of us who will never forget our school days and that special teacher, here is a book to give and to get.
