And To Think I Saw It On MLK Street

If you’ve followed the news about the politically-motivated censoring of several Seuss books, you’ll know why the author of this recently published book went with a Seuss theme. This book uses Seuss’s distinctive style, color scheme, and rhythmic text to create a thought-provoking commentary on what the last couple years may have done to American children.

A young boy is scared to walk to school because he is convinced that everyone is out to hurt him. This poor kid is scared of touching people, the police, anyone with religious beliefs, and so on. But by the time he gets to school, he has to admit that he is safe and no one he met was truly scary.

As you might have figured out by now, this book comes from a staunchly conservative perspective on current events. I consider it a clever and well-executed commentary that will amuse adults and older kids who are politically savvy- and conservative. I do think the political commentary would go over the heads of the 3-5 year old crowd who usually enjoy Seuss. My 4 year old definitely did not “get” what was going on with the little boy being unreasonably paranoid about everyone he met.

I think And to Think I Saw It on MLK Street makes an excellent gift for a conservative older kid or adult who will enjoy the Seuss nostalgia and message. But if you are of more liberal inclinations, this book isn’t for you, unless you have an excellent sense of humor. The message is pro-police, pro-religion, and pro-life.
