Review:

"Bracey argues for Seuss to be read as a primarily moral or even didactic writer, and one who often combines both a pragmatic and utopian Vision in his exploration of "the link between human rights and human governance"... [it] serves as a useful introduction to non-specialists who may be interested in the wide-ranging political and social implications behind some of the renowned children's author's most popular works." -Dr. David Buehrer, Valdosta State University.
