YMMV / If I Ran the Zoo

• Hilarious in Hindsight: One of the animals is an elephant cat.
• Values Dissonance: The illustrations of McGrew's friends from other countries are quite politically incorrect. One line is even borderline racist: "A Mulligatawny is fine for my zoo/And so is a chieftain. I'll bring one back, too." In 2021, Dr. Seuss Enterprises decided to remove this book and a few others from publication because of this.
