Dr. Seuss First Edition Identification<\/h3>\n
Bartholomew and the Oobleck<\/em><\/strong>; written and illustrated by Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss); Random House; 1949.<\/p>\n
1950 Caldecott Honor Award<\/p>\n
Children’s Picturebook Price Guide Value – $2,200 VG+<\/p>\n
Essential First Edition Identifying Points<\/h3>\n
Blue boards and blue dust jacket.<\/p>\n
Oobleck is similar to Seuss’ Thidwick The Big-Hearted Moose<\/em> and If I Ran The Circus<\/em>, in that the book and dust jacket are unique to the first edition. Later states have orange boards and dust jacket.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
It is difficult to find a first edition dust jacket in VG condition, since the paper stock was so thin on the first state DJ.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The dust jacket price is $2.00, “200\/200” at top right of front flap, however this is not necessary to identify the first state book.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The rear flaps gives a short review of the first six Seuss books.<\/p>\n
