Book Reviews of Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel

Book Review: Wonderful look at Dr Seuss' early work
Summary: 5 Stars

As a huge Dr Seuss fan, and also a history student, I was amazed and intrigued to find that Ted Geisel had started his career as a war cartoonist, and 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 and at the same time thoughtful, and 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, and advised reading for anyone with an interest in World War II
