That is interesting. And pretty sly. I wonder if the Seuss estate had done that it would've been noticeable? Probably so, since the majority of Seuss' books are jointly read.


People might notice, but I doubt anyone would care. Doctor Seuss Enterprises is not going to bother because their other problem is poor sales for those titles. Although maybe that is no longer true with all the free publicity they have received recently.

Putting out a press release instead of quietly discontinuing those titles was a genius PR move that was timed perfectly.
