So it looks like six children's books by Dr. Seuss are not going to be published anymore. Thoughts on this?

He was born in Massachusetts; I guess that makes this relavent to this region. His birthday was also 2 days ago. What a great (sarcastically) way to celebrate his birthday!

It was a decision made by the company owned by Geisel's estate, so I really don't have much to say on the matter. And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street is a historic book, so I'm a little disappointed that they're scrapping the book, especially on his birthday. They aren't eradicating it though, it will remain online in libraries, and eventually in the public domain, so the books will live on.
