More Dr. Seuss and Philosophy: Additional Hunches in Bunches Reviews
-
As "Grinch" is remade, childish Seussian rhyme and humor are rekindled in the popular imagination. Editor Jacob Held has collected a nice set of reflections on Seuss books from Philosophers. He even writes his concluding summary in Seussian verse.
Why not learn philosophy while academics reflect on poetic children's literature? In this text, Elizabeth Butterfield finds existentialist freedom in the Birthday Bird's words from Seuss' "Happy Birthday to You." Janelle Potzsch details the ethics of Horton and early Who-society (the forerunner of Who-ville). Manninen revisits the Sneetches and confronts lyrical prejudice, calling for re-humanization in our era of anti-immigrant bias. Held himself deconstructs conflict, including the cold war, by analyzing the yooks and zooks of Seuss' "The Butter Battle Book."
It's fun for all and all for fun! Read one or more; and then we're done.
