What Pet Should I Get? The Basics

How It All Goes Down

The illustrations in What Pet Should I Get? are classic Seuss—which makes sense, because they were found in Dr. Seuss's old, forgotten belongings. The pictures display the same boy and girl from One Fish, Two Fish going into a pet store in order to pick out their pets. The illustrations are filled with simple, primary colors and bold lines. And of course, in classic Seuss fashion, all the animals look utterly kooky and friendly. There's not a frightening face in sight—not even when things start going into the fantastical, straying from dogs and cats to yents and string-flying critters.
