Most people think of Seuss as simply a children's author. His portrayals of Hitler and company are hysterical. ( )

I love this book, it melds education and fun into one! Dr. Suesss, aka Theodor Geisel, began his career as not just a cartoonist but a political cartoonist. After a few illustrations selling various items, he became involved in political cartoons for PM magazine urging the US to get involved in the war prior to Pearl Harbor. While his Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Ito and Tojo are reminiscient of Cat in the Hat and Hoton Hear a Who the cartoon like drawings contained jabs at both foreign and domestic issues of the day. The commentary by Minear sets a timeline and historical background so all can enjoy- history buff or not! I highly recommend! ( )

Besides agreeing with the other reviews, I, as a former Exxon employee, was glad to read how Standard Oil supported him. My grandson, then 11, was very happy to know of this phase of Dr. Seuss's life

A really cool book. Dr. Seuss's drawings look the same when he is drawing Hitler as when he is drawing Horton or the Cat in the Hat. It's also gratifying that Seuss was so right so early about the Fascist threat... ( )

I really like this because it is a great collection of political cartoons by Dr. Seuss. The cartoons say more than entire books on the subject can at times and it gives the reader a glimpse into what many people thought at the time. ( )
