Contents
The Story of Peter's Eggs
The book starts with Peter T. Hooper talking to his sister, Liz, in their kitchen. He proudly tells her how great he is at cooking. Peter explains that he got tired of regular scrambled eggs made from chicken eggs. So, he decided to find eggs from other kinds of birds.
Peter's Big Adventure
Peter shares his exciting journey of traveling far and wide. He discovered many unique and unusual birds. He also found their special eggs. Peter carefully chose which eggs to use, picking some for their sweet taste. He knew which ones to avoid.
After collecting some eggs, Peter took them home. But he felt he still needed more. So, he asked his friends from all over the world for help. One of his friends was named Ali. After finding each new bird, Peter would shout, "Scrambled Eggs Super Dee Dooper Dee Booper Special Deluxe a la Peter T. Hooper!"
Why the Book is No Longer Printed
On March 2, 2021, the company that owns the rights to Dr. Seuss's books, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, made an announcement. They said that Scrambled Eggs Super! and five other books would no longer be published. This decision was made because the books showed people in ways that were considered unfair or not kind.
The Reason for Stopping Publication
One part of Scrambled Eggs Super! that was seen as unfair was an illustration. It showed five people in a boat from a made-up place called "Fa-Zoal," which was near the North Pole. These people wore warm, hooded fur coats. They were trying to collect eggs from fantasy birds called "Grice," which laid their eggs on the ice.
After these books were stopped from being printed, many other Dr. Seuss books became very popular. Nine of the top ten books on Amazon's charts in the United States were Dr. Seuss books. None of these popular books were the ones that had been removed. Also, eBay stopped selling the book because of its content.
