The Political Dr. Seuss

INDEPENDENT LENS Examines a Little-Known Side of the Man Best Known for "The Cat in the Hat"
Web Site Launch: THE POLITICAL DR. SEUSS
http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/politicaldrseuss/ ITVS and PBS present THE POLITICAL DR. SEUSS and its companion Website. Most people know Dr. Seuss as the man behind "The Cat in the Hat". But how many know that "Yertle the Turtle" was modeled after Hitler-or that Seuss created WWII political cartoons that denounced racism, anti-isolationism and other issues of the day? THE POLITICAL DR. SEUSS reveals how Theodor Geisel advocated social change, teaching generations of children not only how to be better readers, but better people as well. THE POLITICAL DR. SEUSS airs nationally on October 26, 2004 at 10:30 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).
