When Dr. Seuss Took On Adolf Hitler
This explosion of Dr. Seuss absurdity includes many of the wartime themes that troubled him most -- and many of the visual motifs that would later show up in his children's books.
Geisel often used the ostrich as a stand-in for American isolationists who, he believed, were hiding their heads in the sand.
The children's author drew more than 400 fantastical political cartoons in the early years of World War II.
