Dr. Seuss fans, we have good news today! A story from the man himself is soon to head your way!

A new book from the classic children's author that no one could forget was announced to be out this summer called, "What Pet Should I Get?"

The book is due out July 28, and at least two other titles are on the way, Random House said. The announcement was made exclusively on "Good Morning America" Wednesday.

The manuscripts and sketches by the late author were discovered by his wife, who later notified the publishers.

"It was truly a magical moment, and we immediately knew this was more than just a box of sketches," said Susan Brandt, president of licensing and marketing for Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P.

Prior to this one, Dr. Seuss -- whose real name is Theodor Geisel -- had published 45 books, with more than 650 million copies worldwide. His most popular books include "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish," "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham." Gisel died in 1991.

The other titles have yet to be announced.
