Dana, thanks for having me.
Yeah.
So at UC San Diego, there is this pretty incredibly designed Geisel library.
But inside of it is an unassuming room where the Dr. Seuss archives are.
There's plenty of different other types of archives here.
But, you know, I think the Dr. Seuss archives are among the most notable.
There's an astounding 20,000 files, the archivists told me.
This was May of 2025.
The Dr. Seuss Enterprises and publishers at Penguin Random House were searching for Cat in the Hat drawings because Ted Geisel drew them everywhere.
The Cat in the Hat turns 70 next year.
So they were looking for new marketing material that they could use.
And that's when they found Seeing the 50 United States, a completed manuscript with a few sketches and a storyboard.
And they realized that I think this is a book.
Yeah, I think I'm going to use Kat Reynolds, the editor at Penguin Random House.
This is what she told me because I think it just sums it up perfectly.
She said that this was total kismet.
She called it a coincidence of cosmic proportions that they should find it just a year before the 250th anniversary of the United States.
It's pretty much like it sounds.
You know, the cat in the hat is trying to remember the names of all 50 states.
I feel like I remember being in fourth grade and trying to do that myself for an upcoming test in school.
