Poor selling? Dr Seuss is poor selling? That's your story and you are sticking to it, hum? Anyone who doesn't think there was some form of outside pressure on the foundation dedicated to keeping Dr Seuss books in print that caused them to remove certain books from circulation is either exceptionally naive or in denial. But yea, nothing to see here, just move along.
