And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss

2.0

This was interesting... the story, like most of his, is about being imaginative. Overall, a fun story about a boy's imagination (although kind of a downer that his dad discourages it). The problematic part was a picture of a stereotypical Chinese man "who eats with sticks." But what I found the most interesting was that this was actually an updated version. Originally published in 1937, this "Chinese man" was called something a little more offensive, his skin was yellow, and he had a pigtail. So I think it's fascinating that people are upset that others would find fault with this stereotypical depiction, when the creator himself recognized the problematic issue of the illustration and changed it. "That's the way things were 50 years ago," Dr. Seuss said. Not in defense, but explaining why he felt it was important to change it now (well, in 1978).
