ALL POSTSAre there various Yertle The Turtle versions?
<p>I came across the following lines:
</p><p>"And they piled up so high their shells creaked, and they bent,
</p><p>But old Yertle yelled, "Higher!" So higher they went."
</p><p>in this youtube video. However, it doesn't appear in any of the text versions I've looked at.
</p><p>Are there different editions of the story? Anyone know which edition the one above might be?
</p><p>Thanks!

<p>I think the "Creaked shells" scene must be cutted from the books,but originally writen by Dr. Seuss!

<p>The only edition in wich it appears is the Audio Book:Here is a link

<p>That didn't really answer the question either! The audio book narrated by John Lithgow corresponds exactly to the book text. The audio book which you link to (which is the same one I linked to in the original post) has no information. Who published it? Who is the narrator? It doesn't really make sense that lines appear in an audio book but <i>not</i> earlier texts. If the "novel" lines were written by Dr. Suess (in earlier or later drafts), what I'd like to know is when and where it was published.

<p>It wasn't pubblished!

<p>Ack! You have been of no help at all. If it is a commerically-available audio book, it has a publisher.

<p>Publisher of the audio book?I was talking about the book!

<p>This isn't the audible Version from AMAZON.They play the sample narrated by John Linthgow!

<p>I don't understand why you keep responding when you don't have any answers.

</p><p>Does anyone <i>else</i> know what the source of the lines above is? Seems like my best bet it to track down the publisher of the audio book to help get at the origin of the text it uses. </p><p>
