If I Ran the Circus. First edition, with the requisite advertisements at the rear and the 250/250 price on the front flap. This sequel to Dr Seuss' If I Ran the Zoo (1950) recounts young Morris McGurk daydreaming about turning the empty lot behind Mr Sneelock's store into an elaborate, fantastical circus - "Why, ladies and gentlemen, youngsters and oldsters, / Your heads will quite likely spin right off your shouldsters!"
