Now that I have your attention with that title...
This was posted on FB; a chap had picked it up at a flea market. It's a 1955 Milton Bradley game, in which players have a set of cards representing hunks of path, and the idea is to drive a skunk-token off the board on the opponent's side of the board.
A detailed description of the game, and game-play, is here: https://aboardgameaday.blogspot.com.....T_2uLzVo2xVE-c
Now, you just KNOW
tegerio would have fun suborning this.

http://www.furaffinity.net/full/31248920/ for some interesting early work by Seuss.
I have two mass market books I bought in the 1990s (there was a discount bookstore near where I used to work). I doubt either is much in demand: The Tough Coughs as he Ploughs the Dough (1987), which you mentioned and The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss (1995). Both are pretty good but they left me wanting moar.
The impression I get is that Milton Bradley did a lot of "one season" type games in the 50s and 60s; for example, you see a LOT of tie-in games to kiddie TV shows. Calvin and the Colonel, to name one. Milton Bradley, I think, far more than Parker Brothers, which had a number of standards like Monopoly and Sorry!
