    Theodore Geisel: a poet, a cartoonist, an author, and a political activist. To children, this man is known dearly by his pseudonym, Dr. Seuss. Geisel, considered to be the greatest of all children’s writers, was an alumnus of the renowned Dartmouth College, and Lincoln College, Oxford. Through senseless language, wild settings, and nonsensical plots, Seuss emboldens all children to grow fond and enjoy reading. His wife, Helen Palmer-Seuss, said, “Ted doesn’t sit down and write for children. He writes to amuse himself. Luckily what amuses him also amuses them.” For this, many of the whimsical books Geisel wrote to entertain “children” contain political undertones to entertain himself. These political connotations are a statement to his more aesthetic audience. His most famous of these political works are Yertle the Turtle, The Sneetches, The Butter Battle Book, and the Lorax. By taking a closer look at the writings of Dr. Seuss, one recognizes that his books contain many themes not typically viewed as appropriate for children. These themes and subjects are his political outcries. During a period where seditious libel was punishable to extreme measures, Theodore Geisel’s children’s books were the most viable way to voice his and many others opinions on social and political issues of the time.…
