For use in schools and libraries only. Looking for a nicer place to live, the native of the Valley of Vung sets out for Solla Sollew. Our nameless hero a typical Seuss hybrid who's part bear, part puppy, and part beyond categorization has an innocent, carefree life, until it's ruined by minor problems. With a toe stubbed, and a tail bitten by a Quilligan Quail ("And I learned there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead, and some come from behind"), he sets out on an ill-fated journey to find a better, less troublesome place: the fabled city of Solla Sollew, no less, "on the banks of the beautiful River Wah-Hoo, Where they never have troubles. At least very few." Like most dreamlands, Solla Sollew is harder to attain than expected nobody seems to know how to get there, and the journey is far worse than anyone anticipated. When the fair city is finally attained there is, of course, a last straw; but a happy twist suggests troubles may be better faced than escaped.
