Not the Happiest Bday for Dr Seuss. So sorry, Everyone, but we can't get them, either!
These Dr Seuss books from 1940s & 50s are now officially out-of-print https://t.co/vzZCEwccAm So sad. Instead of making these teaching moments for ourselves & our children, we have decided we should whitewash our history and ignore the current bias & violence against Asians.

Matilda (Paperback)
Description
From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG!
Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a kid-hating terror of a headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!
