Steak for Supper by Dr. Seuss

A boy brags about having steak for dinner, which attracts a parade of bizarre creatures—like the Ikka, the Gritch, and the Nupper—who all want to come home with him to eat. But when they arrive and discover only stew is on the menu, they vanish in disappointment. The story humorously shows how boasting can backfire and imagination can run wild. It’s a quirky tale with classic Seuss absurdity.
