This week I learned something new. Dr. Seuss drew political cartoons, over 400 in the years 1941-1943. These were the only "angry" pictures he drew. Did you know that about Dr. Seuss?

I read an article yesterday on gather about Dr. Seuss. It was filled with wonderful info that I did not know. They mentioned that he Did politiacal cartoons also and no I did not know until then. Dr Seuss childrens books has been around for a long time. I think most of us just associate him with children stories

Yes, I did. Read the Lorax and the Butter Battle Book. These books are for kids, but they're about politics if you read them carefully.

I would also like to see some of them. I am sure he had lots to be angry about during those years. I did not know this. I also find it interesting that his birthday is March 2nd and World Book Day is March 1st. I wonder if there is a connection?

Ah I absolutely did not know that. I wonder if they were covered up or something? (Or am I just ignorant :P). Hmmm over 400! That's alot!
