The Storyteller is a bronze sculpture in the form of a ten foot high open book. The back of the sculpture is an exact replica of the cover of the Dr. Seuss classic children's story "Oh, The Places You'll Go". The cover design is accented in teal. On the front of the sculpture the entire text of "Oh, The Places You'll Go" is inscribed on two pages in large enough letters so it can be easily read. Centered in front of the book is a large storyteller's chair.
The sculpture was designed by Theodor Seuss Geisel's step-daughter Lark Dimond-Cates and and cast in bronze by Art Research & Technology. It is placed in the garden next to, and slightly north and west of, the The Dr. Seuss and The Cat In The Hat Sculpture.
