Ted Geisel was farrrr to the left. He did a lot of adult cartoons during WWII.

However, most of his famous kids’ books are pretty good and fun. The cat in the hat is only mildly “subversive” as in having fun while the authorities are away, but that free “fun” turns hellish and order is restored at the end with relief. Same with “comes back.”

A great treatise on racism or outer differences (including cool kids’ cliques and clothing) is “the sneeches.”. It also deals with race- baiters and shakedown artists, years before the REVrund Jackson invented the push coalition.

Green eggs and ham is mainly about actually listening, and opening your mind, mostly seen at kids’ level of opening your mind to simple things like food, or trying a new activity.

A lot of the stories have simple themes like that and are not offensive.

The most commie kids’ book I’ve found is “the rainbow fish.”. I threw the expensive hard bound copy in the trash rather than even donate it. It’s about a fish who has beautiful glittery rainbow scales, and the other fish won’t play with him cause he’s so beautiful. So a wise octopus tells him to share his scales with the other fish. It ends with each fish having one glitter scale, and all are happy. Pure communism.
