I am reporting back to say that Dr. Sues is pretty dope. I had no idea and I'm not even sure why! Kiddo is obsessed with The Lorax, The Sneeches is great, and Horton Hears a Who was kinda intense! But a good message regardless. Im sure the library has the Butter Battle Book, I'll look for it next time im there.
Its kind of blowng my mind honestly. I had no idea Dr. Sues was so based lol.
Glad to hear! His stuff is great. I feel I should warn you, though, Butter Battle Book is one of those kids books that hits different for adults. It's about the nuclear arms race -- frames it in a way that highlights the absurdity. I listed it 'cus it's probably the most explicitly political of Sues' children's books, but it's... it's heavy.
This is a short animation he helped produce biased on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQsPq4y7Q20
Also, feature length Sues is bad, hollywood really butchers the stories. If you can, point to the short animations.
