CT librarians praise decision to remove some Dr. Seuss books Eliza Fawcett Amid controversy over the discontinuation of six Dr. Seuss books due to insensitive imagery, a number of educators and librarians across Connecticut emphasized the importance of having children see themselves represented in picture books — and the harm of perpetuating stereotypes in children’s literature. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the business that oversees Theodor Seuss Geisel’s estate, announced earlier this week that it would cease publication and licensing of six books. The titles include “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” (1937), “If I Ran the Zoo” (1950), and four other publications. The company said the decision was made last year, following discussions with experts and educators and a review of Geisel’s works.
