OK… I’m getting a little obsessed here.
There was a big book of jokes that was illustrated by Dr. Seuss. I checked this book out of the library and read it many, many times, around when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. It was an old copy then (or, at least, a well abused one), which was probably around 1978-1979.
But I can not find this book at all on the all-knowing internet.
It’s good to have a pointless mission every now and again.
You’re sure it’s Dr. Seuss, and not one of those books that have Seussian art style and were published with the Cat and the Hat logo on them? I’m thinking of P.D. Eastman’s ‘Go, Dog, Go!’ and the like.
I’m not at all sure. I know the art was Dr. Seuss-y. Different than the P.D. Eastman style, with Dr. Seuss-type characters in it.
Frustrating.

I found this on ebay. (after I started searching around for your joke book)
maybe give ebay a shot. You never know what you can find out there. I’ll also ask my friend who works in a public library in Norther Kentucky. She loves to unravel mysteries, too.
Thanks!
amen!
