The company that publishes Dr. Seuss’ children’s books, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, said it made the decision after consulting educators and reviewing its catalog. “Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’s catalog represents and supports all communities and families,” it said.
The titles of the books that “portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” are titled, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, “If I Ran the Zoo, “McElligot’s Pool, “On Beyond Zebra!, “Scrambled Eggs Super!,” and “The Cat’s Quizzer.” The big announcement was made Tuesday, the birthday of the famed children’s book author.
Multiple Dr. Seuss works have long been criticized for their depictions of minorities. Back in January, Loudoun County schools in Virginia had to debunk speculation that they were banning Dr. Seuss entirely but stated that “Dr. Seuss and his books are no longer the emphasis of Read Across America Day in Loudoun County Public Schools,” citing research that “revealed strong racial undertones in many books.”
