Only a three star for this one, as the rhyming was mostly based on invented beasts' names and Seuss could have done much better.

From the web: Dr. Seuss Enterprises did not specify which illustrations were offensive, but four of the titles contain cartoon depictions of Asian people, while three contain stereotypical portrayals of Inuit.

I’ll go to the African island of Yerma
And bring back a fizzle-topped Tufted Mazurka,
The illustration is quite uncomfortable to see. It looks like a big nose ring rather than big lips.

I’ll hunt in the mountains of Zumba-ma-Tant
With helpers who all wear their eyes at a slant,
And capture a fine fluffy bird called the Bustard

If I Ran the Zoo features a young boy imagining a hunting expedition to the fictional land of Zomba-ma-tant where locals “wear their eyes at a slant.” Other pages also show the “African island of Yerka,” featuring squat African tribesmen with large hoops through their noses.
