I think it's been around a few years, but I found it recently and it's delightful! The books is for sale on amazon and from the publishers it looks like. Might need it for my children's library.

Nice find! Rather than mocking, it takes the story seriously. And it works!

I'm pleasantly surprised the Seuss foundation apparently didn't push copyright infringement (the images are recognisably Seussian, not to mention the couplet rhyme scheme).

>3 elenchus: The images certainly look like it, but I'm not sure they can claim the rhyme scheme. I've read some old poetry written in the same meter. It was hilariously bad, all the more so because of how much it sounded like Seuss.

I don't think they'd have much of a case. There's a wide latitude for satire and parody in intellectual property, and I don't imagine the publisher was marketing the book to preschools and children's librarians!
