Oceanhouse Media, Inc. announced yesterday its Dr. Seuss’s The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories
app is now available for Apple and Android devices. The new Oceanhouse
Media digital book (omBook) features a collection of seven short stories
written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss for Redbook magazine back in the
1950s, and was launched on the same day as the Random House release
of the hardcover book.
This is the first time the rediscovered stories have been published
in book or digital form and the first time that Oceanhouse Media has
launched an omBook simultaneously with a physical book’s release.

tales for more than half a century. News of their release has been
highly anticipated by Dr. Seuss fans, generating much excitement for
readers young and old.
Actors from across the U.S. provided the voices for
the characters in the omBook which also includes custom features such as
Dr. Seuss’s original artwork with enhanced color, picture/word
association, word highlighting, individual word pronunciation and
scene-by-scene custom background audio.
