Funko POP! Vinyl: Icons: Dr. Seuss: Dr. Seuss

Product Information

I wanted to read this book, to understand, why this book is being challenged to be banned at public schools and their libraries. Parents want this particular book kept away from their children. For the life of me, I find nothing wrong or disturbing about it. It is a typical Dr. Seuss book, where youngsters who are learning to read, can sound out easy words, become familiar with them and then be proud to read simple sentences all on their own. The Cat in the Hat shows a Young Cat the fun he can get out of reading. Also shows that reading is a useful tool to acquire knowledge. The title story concerns a boy who brags that he can fight 30 tigers and win. However, he makes excuse after excuse, finally disqualifying all the tigers until he must fight no tigers at all. The illustrations are notable for their use of gouache and brush strokes rather than the usual pen and ink. Other stories include King Looie Katz, another warning against hierarchical society advocating self-reliance, and The Glunk That Got Thunk about the power of run-away imagination.

But right now, when the Japs are planting their hatchets in our skulls, it seems like a hell of a time for us to smile and warble: "Brothers!" It is a rather flabby battle cry.

[79] After graduating from Dartmouth College (B.A., 1925), Geisel did postgraduate studies at Lincoln College, Oxford, and at the Sorbonne. He subsequently began working for Life, Vanity Fair, and other publications as an illustrator and humorist.

Some of his characters later appeared in his children’s works.
