Universal Orlando said Tuesday that it has decided to pull the six Dr. Seuss books that will no longer be published from its shelves and is evaluating other changes that could be made.
The 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, the business that preserves and protects the author s legacy said Tuesday.
