Six Dr Seuss books including And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street and If I Ran the Zoo will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery. There has been increasing criticism in recent years over the depiction of black and Asian people. "Dr Seuss Enterprises listened and took feedback from our audiences including teachers, academics and specialists in the field as part of our review process," it said. "We then worked with a panel of experts, including educators, to review our catalogue of titles."
