Dr Suess Goes To War by Richard Minear
This volume contains a treasure trove of World War II era political cartoons by the creator of The Cat in the Hat, as political cartoonist for the New York daily newspaper. His remarkable and arresting cartoons exhort readers to give full support to the war effort, put up with shortages, buy US savings bonds, and help control inflation.
"Scathing, fascinating stuff. . . A provocative history of wartime politics. Grade: A."
Entertainment Weekly
"Vigorous, trenchant, and vividly memorable, Geisel’s cartoons, accompanied by Minear’s helpful commentary, are a salutary reminder of an era in which patriotism and liberalism went hand in hand."
The Christian Science Monitor
"Great cartooning. . . . Minear’s text gives solid context to the drawings resurrected in this collection."
Atlantic Monthly
"Succeeds as both a dark-humored history lesson and a glimpse into the artistic development that would carry into Seuss’s best known books."
