Dr. Seuss will sue you!



The Seuss estate may send you a cease and desist letter if you use his work in any form in a product. I’m not talking about blatant copyright infringes. I’m talking about just mentioning his name and books. If you don’t believe me, check the copy right section of TPT’s seller forum. 

I’m pretty natural on Dr. Seuss’s material. I don’t think they’re the end all to be all of children’s literature and I’ve read it to some children and gotten stink eye from them, but I don’t think they’re horrible either.  Seuss would not be on my top ten list of children’s literature. 

There are almost eight hundred activity products about Dr. Seuss on TPT. I think that’s insane when he’s banned and there’s so many other great children’s authors out there.  As teachers we should know to expose our children to different texts and authors. Stop sticking to just Seuss. 

Two of my favorite authors are Kevin Henks and Leo Lionni. I’ve read both to multiple grade level and they’re usually a hit. Kevin has two hundred six hit and Leo Lionni has fewer than eighty hits.

If you’re interested, I’ve made two products involving these authors.
