What Was I Scared Of?

By Dr. Seuss

Turn out the lights and say hello to Dr. Seuss’s spookiest character… the pair of empty trousers, with nobody inside them!

Then I was deep within the woods

When, suddenly, I spied them.

I saw a pair of pale green pants

With nobody inside them!

First published as part of The Sneetches and Other Stories, this all-time favourite Dr. Seuss story is the perfect present for children aged 3+ with its timeless message about fear and tolerance.

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to his millions of fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, which included the creation of the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, which went on to become the first of a successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
