In 1957, when theodore “Dr. Sous” wrote his photographer’s book for his children “The cat in the hat,” Under a contract with Random House, who dealt with the largest part of his books. The story says – as it is related to the biography of Judith and Nile Morgan for the year 1995 “Dr. Souss and Mr. Gizel” -Seuss approved the writing of “The Cat in the Hat” after talking to one of the top in the opponent publisher, Houghton Miflin, who wanted a suitable educational book and a language for the chapters of America. Bennett Cervif, Random House president, had to reach a special agreement with Hutton Miflin so that Souss could write the book. Random House is allowed to sell the “Hat in the Hat” in book stores, while Mifflin will be honored to publish the semester publications.

Although the Mifflin version came first, the Random House version is, apparently, is more important. “The Cat in the Hat” was a great success in libraries (again, according to the Biography of Morgans’ 1995), but he was not a great seller in school. While Random House cash on sales, Mifflin has struggled to get it in the classroom. Souss himself said in the interviews (such as the 1954 Tim Magazine interview, It was copied on the first version siteHe hated the books of the most popular children in his day, because they were very delightful and cleared.

Souss specifically hated the books “Dick & Jane”, which Zina Sharp depicted in 1930, saying that the books were only full of “uninterrupted illustrations depicting the lives of other children.” The “cat in the hat” was supposed to be an antidote to “Dick & Jane”. Unfortunately, he was unprecedented because many teachers were fond of “Dick & Jane”, after they grew up with them themselves. Souss wanted to write a story about children who sometimes act. Yes, the method of children In reality He does.

There was something from a scandal in the world of Dr. Souss in 2021, where many of the author’s books would be withdrawn from publishing, due to racist images. Souss was the product of his time, and it was not above the manufacture of non -sensitive stereotypes in line with many artists and publishers.

And “quizzer cat.” These books depict black or Asian people in a stereotype, and certainly not suitable for contemporary children. At least it is not without a lengthy explanation about the development of racist positions in American art. The story was covered by the BBC And other ports.

Dr. Souss Enterprises reached the decision after consulting with many teachers and parents, and ultimately announced in a press statement that “stopping the sales of these books is only part of our commitment and broader plan to ensure that Dr. Souss Enterprise’s catalog is represented and supported all societies and families.”

However, there was a violent reaction against the withdrawal of the post, which was incited by a specific sub -department of Americans who were busy with what they called “canceling culture”. It was a complete deal. Many felt that racist images should remain in circulation, as keeping the original pictures remain valuable. Many came to evaluate books as soon as they were pulled. Fast trip to EBay It reveals that some are trying to sell copies of “if you run the zoo” for hundreds, if not thousands, from dollars.

Of course, some books college may collect the nicknames of the newly discovered Seuss for their rarely discovered; I hate to predict the motives of the seller.

To write these lines, “Oh, the places you will go to!” It is said to be in business.
