Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Dr. Seuss (illustrator). 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. McElligot's Pool by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel). New York: Random House, 1947. First Edition, First Printing. Publisher's original blue-green cloth binding with pictorial front board; binding sound and square, with light, even shelf wear. Interior clean, unmarked, and bright. Illustrated throughout by Dr. Seuss. Housed in a married dust jacket: the jacket is from a later Random House period (c. early 1950s), with correct front-panel artwork but a back panel advertising later Seuss titles not issued in 1947. Dust jacket present and intact, with general wear consistent with age. An honest, clearly described example of Seuss's fourth published book, offered with full disclosure. Collector's Note: Published in 1947, McElligot's Pool is among Dr. Seuss's earliest Random House titles and represents a formative moment in his postwar career, when his visual inventiveness and moral imagination began to crystallize into the style that would define his legacy. The book's central theme?faith in possibility in the face of skepticism?anticipates ideas Seuss would return to throughout his later work. True first editions of McElligot's Pool with original, period-correct dust jackets are notoriously scarce, particularly with intact flaps and original pricing. Survival rates for Seuss dust jackets of this era are low, and even worn examples are actively sought by collectors. Offered with full disclosure regarding jacket state, this copy remains a desirable example for its early place in the Seuss canon and its enduring cultural and historical significance. More photos on request and with our pleasure. Book will be carefully wrapped and boxed securely for safe handling during transit, with international shipping available.

Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing and wear. Uncommon signed and inscribed. The story begins as a boy named Marco fishes in a small, trash-filled pond, McElligot's Pool. A local farmer laughs at the boy and tells him that he is never going to catch anything. Nevertheless, Marco holds out hope and begins to imagine a scenario in which he might be able to catch a fish. First, he suggests that the pool might be fed by an underground brook that travels under a highway and a hotel to reach the sea. Marco then imagines a succession of fish and other creatures that could be in the sea and therefore the pool. He imagines, among others, a fish with a checkerboard stomach, a seahorse with the head of an actual horse, and an eel with two heads. When Marco is done imagining, he tells the farmer, "Oh, the sea is a so full of a number of fish,/ If a fellow is patient, he might get his wish!" Geisel painted some of the water colors that illustrate McElligot's Pool while vacationing with his wife, Helen, at the summer home of their friend Kelvin Vanderlip, in southern California. The book was the first Dr. Seuss book to use water colors for its illustrations; however, because of budget concerns, Random House published half of the book in black and white, alternating between two pages in color and two pages in black and white. It became a Junior Literary Guild selection and garnered Dr. Seuss his first Caldecott Honor.
