  • SEUSSICAL This December, W.F. West Theatre Continues Its Tradition
    SEUSSICAL This December, W.F. West Theatre continues its tradition of bringing children’s theatre to our community when we present: Seussical. The amazing world of Dr. Seuss and his colorful characters come to life on stage in this musical for all ages. The Cat in the Hat takes us through the story of Horton the Elephant and his quest to prove that Whos really do exist. The story: A young boy, JoJo, discovers a red-and-white-striped hat. The Cat in the Hat suddenly appears and brings along with him Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, the Whos, Mayzie La Bird and Sour Kangaroo. Horton hears a cry for help. He follows the sound to a tiny speck of dust floating through the air and realizes that there are people living on it. They are so small they can't be seen – the tiny people of Whoville. Horton places them safely onto a soft clover. Sour Kangaroo thinks Horton is crazy for talking to a speck of dust. As Horton is left alone with his clover, the Cat thrusts Jojo into the story. Horton discovers much more about the Whos and their tiny town of Whoville while Jojo's imagination gets the better of him. Horton and Jojo hear each other and become friends when they realize their imaginations are so much alike. Gertrude writes love songs about Horton. She believes Horton doesn't notice her because of her small tail. Mayzie appears with her Bird Girls and offers Gertrude advice which leads her to Doctor Dake and his magic pills for “amayzing” feathers.

  • Fhnews Oct20
    Forest Hill News October 2020 Forest Hill News—Page 1 THEODOR GEISEL The young man, Theodor Geisel, was already a successful illustrator and cartoonist in New York, but he wanted to be an author. So, Theodor wrote a book which he enthusiastically submitted to a publisher. It was rejected. And that rejection was followed by another, and another, and another. There were twenty-seven in all. No one likes to be rejected. Theodor lost his enthusiasm. Walking along Madison Avenue with the unwanted manuscript under his arm, it was Theodor’s intention to burn it as soon as he returned to his apartment. Whether it was providential or serendipitous doesn’t matter, but it mattered a lot that on his walk home Theodor happened to run into Mike McClintock, an old friend from student years at Dartmouth College. The friends chatted, but before going their separate ways Geisel’s friend inquired what was in that big bundle tucked under his arm. After pouring out his sad story of serial rejections, the friend announced that he had recently been hired as the Children’s Book Editor for Vanguard Press, and he was on his way to his office for his first day on the job, and if Geisel wanted to accompany him he would be quite willing to look at the oft rejected manuscript. The novitiate editor recognized the manuscript as something quite different for a children’s book, almost “off the wall,” but he liked what he saw, both in the text and the wild illustrations. The book, And to Think What I Saw on Mulberry Street, first published in 1937, was an immediate best seller.

He was not an official doctor, but his prescription for fun has delighted readers for more than 60 years. Theodor Seuss Geisel (“Ted”) was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Theodor Robert, and grandfather were brewmasters and enjoyed great financial success for many years. Coupling the continual threats of Prohibition and World War I, the German-immigrant Geisels were targets for many slurs, particularly with regard to their heritage and livelihoods. In response, they were active participants in the pro-America campaign of World War I. Thus, Ted and his sister Marnie overcame such ridicule and became popular teenagers involved in many different activities.

  • Dr. Seuss Goes to War: the World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel by Richard H
    Dr.. Seuss Goes to War A little known fact about the World War II-era is that series of political cartoons by the famed children's author Dr. Seuss impacted the American isolationist mind set. More than 200 of the cartoons were assembled for the first time in the book Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel by Richard H. Minear. Minear is a professor of history at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and one of the country's leading historians of Japan during World War II. This exhibit, guest-curated by Minear, is based in part on his book and is the first exhibit to examine the political side of Dr. Seuss. Minear said that there is "a disconnect between what we usually think of as Dr. Seuss and the content of the cartoons." However, many Dr. Seuss's whimsical children's books also contain serious themes. Yertle the Turtle, for example, is a cautionary tale against dictators. The Lorax contains a strong environmental message. The Sneetches is a plea for racial tolerance. Horton Hears a Who is a parable about the American Occupation of Japan. And The Butter Battle Book pillories the Cold War and nuclear deterrence. Even the Cat in the Hat's famous red-and-white-striped hat has a political predecessor in the top hat Uncle Sam wears in Dr. Seuss's wartime cartoons. Some of these characters, such as a Sneetch-type creature and a prototype of Yertle the Turtle, made their first appearance not in Dr.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH DOCTOR ON THE WARPATH: HOW THE SECOND WORLD WAR MADE THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL BRANDON ELLIOTT GATTO Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in English with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Sanford Schwartz Associate Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Janet Lyon Associate Professor of English, Women’s Studies, and Science, Technology, and Society Honors Adviser Daniel Hade Associate Professor of Language and Literacy Second Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i Abstract The stories of Dr. Seuss, one of the most popular and best-selling children’s authors of all time, are often associated with fantastic characters, whimsical settings, and witty rhymes. While such facets are commonplace in the world of children’s literature, the ability of Theodor Seuss Geisel to transform reality into a nonsense arena of eloquence and simplicity is perhaps what made him a symbol of American culture. Despite his popularity, however, the historical context and primary influences of the author’s memorable lessons are not critically evaluated as much as those of other genre personalities. Many of his children’s books have clear, underlying messages regarding societal affairs and humanity, but deeper connections have yet to be established between Geisel’s pedagogical themes and personal agenda. Accordingly, this thesis strives to prove that the most inherent and significant influences of Dr. Seuss derive from his experiences as a political cartoonist during the Second World War era. Having garnered little recognition before World War II, Geisel’s satirical political illustrations and subsequent war-based work helped shape him into the rousing, unparalleled children’s author that generations have come to read and remember.

  • Dr. Seuss & WWII
    Dr. Seuss & WWII Analyzing Political Cartoons A Lesson from the Education Department The National WWII Museum 945 Magazine Street New Orleans, LA 70130 (504) 528-1944 www.nationalww2museum.org/learn/education © The National WWII Museum Dr. Seuss & WWII Analyzing political cartoons Dr. Seuss is the beloved author of more than 50 children’s books. But many students do not know that he drew over 400 political cartoons during WWII. These cartoons tackled such subjects as racism and discrimination, the dangers of isolationism, fascism, and other political issues, and the vital work of the war effort at home. OBJECTIVE: Students will analyze four WWII-era Dr. Seuss cartoons, gaining a greater understanding of the use of symbolism, caricature, stereotyping, analogy, juxtaposition, irony, and humor, as well as a deeper appreciation and perspective of issues confronting the U.S. Home Front. GRADE LEVEL: 7-12 STANDARDS: History Thinking Standard 4—the student interrogates historical data by uncovering the social, political, and economic context in which it was created. Historical Thinking Standard 5—the student identifies issues and problems in the past and analyzes the interests, values, perspectives, and points of view of those involved in the situation. Content Era 8 (1929-1945) Standard 3C—the student understands the effects of World War II at home. TIME REQUIREMENT: One class period, and possible homework assignment. DIRECTIONS: 1. Using the attached information sheets, have a brief, introductory discussion of political cartooning and Dr. Seuss. 2. Pass out copies of the cartoons and the worksheets to students. If your classroom has the technology, you may also show the cartoons on your Smart or Promethean board.
