Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!

A hilarious story about all the pupils and teachers at Diffendoofer School, written with all of Dr. Seuss’s classic trademark wit.

Diffendoofer School isn’t your average school. With classes on yelling and smelling and teachers bouncing on trampolines, this brilliant tale highlights the importance of individuality and thinking for yourself!

This splendid school-based story was the last storyline developed by Dr. Seuss shortly before his death in 1991. Brought to life in all its Seussian glory by poet Jack Prelutsky and illustrator Lane Smith, Hooray For Diffendoofer Day! contains the same humour and wit so evident across Dr. Seuss’s classic stories.

He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937.His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books. In all Dr. Seuss wrote more than 40 children's books during a career that spanned over 50 years, picking up numerous awards, including two Emmy awards for television and a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation along the way.
