Wonderful look at Dr Seuss' early work - By: , 08 Mar 2001
As a huge Dr Seuss fan, & also a history student, I was amazed & intrigued to find that Ted Geisel had started his career as a war cartoonist, & had to order this book. Boy am I glad I did! The book contains hundreds of Dr Seuss' previously forgotten war cartoons in full-page format, as well as an excellent commentary by Richard Minear, that follows not only Dr Seuss' early career, but American attitudes to the war itself. This feature makes it as valid a historical text as it is an insight into Geisel's personal feelings toward World War II. The cartoons are frequently hilarious & at the same time thoughtful, & far better than most of the war cartoons I have studied. Within the cartoons, it is also possible to see the early ideas for later Children's classics such as Yertle The Turtle. This book is a must-have for any Dr Seuss fanatic, & advised reading for anyone with an interest in World War II
