The World of Dr. Seuss lunchbox was produced in 1970 by Aladdin Industries, Inc., of Nashville. The lunchbox has images from The Cat in the Hat (1957), Horton Hears a Who! (1954), Happy Birthday to You! (1959), The Sneetches and Other Stories including the story "The Zax" (1953), and I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew (1965). The thermos also features images from The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who!, and the story "The Sneetches," as well as Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories (1958), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957).
The Birthday Bird is on the side panel. I'm not sure what is hidden by the handle on top, but it might be a character from On Beyond Zebra! (1955) on the left and perhaps Gertrude McFuzz, the second story in Yertle the Turtle, on the right.

This beautiful Dr. Seuss drawing of the Grinch sold in 2008 for a strong price despite being defaced with the signature of actor Jim Carrey who played the Grinch in the 2000 movie. Alternatively one could ask, heaven forfend, is the intrusive Jim Carrey signature actually the reason for the lofty price?
