A year after ceasing publication of six Dr. Seuss books, including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," because of racist and insensitive imagery, the company that preserves the late author's legacy says it's launching a new effort to work with an "inclusive community of new and emerging authors and illustrators" to create original stories inspired by unpublished Seuss sketches.

NEW YORK – The latest Dr. Seuss releases are designed for the very youngest audience.

On Thursday, Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House Children's Books announced the launch of Dr. Seuss Babies, which includes interactive board books, a video series called “Learn to Read” and even a line of diapers, onesies and feeding solutions.

“Babies and toddlers love to discover the world around them. Dr. Seuss Babies will help them explore, learn and laugh. Our hope is that this brand inspires and delights a new generation.” Susan Brandt, president and CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, said in a statement.

The first board book, “Happy First Birthday!”, will be published Jan. 7, 2025. Other board books scheduled for next year include “Mr. Brown On the Farm” and “Happy Grinchmas, Baby!” Three more books are expected in 2026.

“We are so excited to bring this adorable new line of books to the youngest of Dr. Seuss fans,” Alice Jonaitis, executive editor of Dr. Seuss Publishing at Random House, said in a statement. “With the eye-catching new art style, the beloved characters have become even more baby-friendly and will help nurture a love of reading at the earliest age.”
