Dr. Seuss Conspiracies


Maybe I'm not googling the right things, but I'm trying to find a website about Dr. Seuss and his hidden meanings in his books. Anyone have any resources?

Yeah, here's a resource:

He didn't have any hidden meanings. No preists with b oners, no alledged "SEX" in the dust. Go back to watching Disney movies one frame at a time. And while you're at it, get a life, and don't bring down the greatest children's book writer of all time. Unless you're looking for something telling you which books are satires, you're not gonna find anything.

Actually, (you jerk), I wasn't trying to "bring down the greatest children's book writer of all time." There's a lot of stuff that reflects the political stances of the time, inventions, and even leaders. Don't be so cynical. I love Dr. Seuss.

I never said anything about Disney movies. I don't think there's much to it. The sex in the dust is supposed to be standing for something like special effects. Oh, and the "boner" is the priest's knee.

How's that for ya?

Oh, and you're an ass.

"SFX," to be exact.

I reccomend the book "Dr. Seuss Goes to War." It goes into his views on the world at the time, as well as showing an impressive display of his anti-racist and anti-fascist cartoons. At the end, however, it goes into some of the books he made after the war was over, and how his politics went into them.

But aside from that, I can tell you a few things. He was a die-hard liberal, and many of his close friends were blacklisted, and his work was controversial in its time. Logging companies wanted "The Lorax" banned, and southern publishers refused to publish "The Sneetches" for their ecological and racial viewpoints, respectively. Then, of course, there was "The Butter Battle Book," which I heavily reccomend, a general spoof on the cold war and Arms race.

I need to read up on his works and causes - I know he was vocally against US isolationism early in the war (and most likely earlier), and his 'Yertle the Turtle' was a pointed satire on Hitler, but could be applied to any dictator.

I know that Seuss's the Butter Battle Book was about Nuclear Disarmament... one of my university professors used it as an example of a children's book with a message in the Faculty of Education. Also, the Lorax has a blatant environmental message.

Don't know of any websites that support these, though.

reply

Not many people know of websites. I'd really like to read more though!

I've heard that the Sneeches book he did is about the tribes in Somolia fighting. It's a pretty cool theory.

I heard the same thing!! Thought I was crazy.....

reply

If you play "Welcome Christmas" backwards, you hear a ghostly voice saying "Turn me on, rhyme man," because the real Seuss actually died in a car crash several years earlier. And I think there's an alternate version where someone says "I buried Ted" as it fades out.

LOL!!!

I recently wrote an entire US History research paper on this stuff:
