Dr. Seuss Historical Retrospective

This traveling Seussentennial exhibition, honoring the beloved author’ hundredth birthday, lands in Minneapolis. Dr. Seuss introduced us to the Grinch, to Horton and Yertle, and to sneetches; he made us wonder what green eggs and ham would taste like. But here’ a chance to see work that didn’ make it into his children’ books, including a cousin to the Cat in the Hat, the seedy “cat from the wrong side of the tracks,” and a file of ideas that came to the dear Dr. while shaving, and thus were stored together in a “shaving file.” Who knew a little lather could be such a fecund creative source? 917 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis; 612-338-4333; www.jeanstephengalleries.com
