Submit your thoughts on THE POLITICAL DR. SEUSS.

We invite you to respond to the questions below or add your comments. Selected submissions will be posted on our Talkback page, so check back regularly and join the discussion.
  • Self-proclaimed as “subversive as hell,” Dr. Seuss subtly advocated many of his progressive ideas in his books for children. Do you think that political subversiveness should play a role in children’s literature? Why or why not?

  • Did THE POLITICAL DR. SEUSS change your opinions of Theodor Geisel and his work?
    If so, how?

  • “I’m naïve enough to believe that society will be changed by examination of ideas through books,” said Dr. Seuss. How important do you think books and reading are in affecting social change?
