I am so upset they are taking the Dr. Seuss books off the shelves at stores I can’t remember why I think it was for racial reasons or something it makes me mad my grandson will never know these books because of the stupid crap. I am not sure what you think of this let me know your opinion

It's really just dumb!
I think it might be racial, but it might also be to do with Dr. Suess himself? Something about who he was...

They are taking 6 books out of production. I actually never heard of those ones. So, your grandson can still read a long list of Dr. Seuss books. It is Dr. Seuss foundation that is ceasing publication of these books.
Six Dr. Seuss books — including And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street and If I Ran the Zoo — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author's legacy said Tuesday.

That's sad. I still have those books that I got for my daughters, I have read them to so many of my little kids at school. Those books are fun. I will keep them safe for my grandkids.

@Tina30219 I have used them a lot or rather overused them. As I help children with reading skills, these books are quite useful. And now they become even more precious and treasured.
They are doing a really sad and dumb thing.

It's weird.
I mean, I understand why ... children's brains are still developing, and their subconscious minds can't tell the difference between 'a differently raced human' and 'a human looking animal (like a monkey).'
I guess there's not an 'adults remembering their childhood fantasy-lands'-category of "adult books" (which is where those 6 Dr. Seuss books might belong ... and where they might show up if an 'adult-bookstore' has a non-pR0n section).
