Re: Dr. Seuss products

[Josephine Dervan <rderva@INJERSEY.COM>]

I read an article shortly after Theodore Geisel's death that during his
lifetime he refused to commercialize his books by liceansing the Cat in the
Hat and others. However his heirs felt differently and decided to "cash in".
The first result was the media event of the publication and production of
Daisy Head Maisie. I know that many of the Seuss related items that I own
are not copywrited by Random House but by other companies.

I do know that last year Random did a big promotion for the 40th birthday of
the Cat in the Hat. Birthday parties were held throughout the country. Maybe
if there is another promotion like this one the people in NEA or whoever
sponsors it can inform Random via the Internet!
