Ted Geisel wrote children’s books but didn’t want them around.
Hardly surprising. Most guys are much happier to interact and put effort into older children who have more fully formed personalities and are more capable of deeper thoughts and concepts and have widening interests.
Would you like them with a mouse?
I do not like them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
She did not like them with a fox

That quote alone tells me he had his head screwed on straight (more or less) and was probably not an irredeemable leftist.
He was a leftist. He abhorred the pro-life movement using his phrase, A person’s a person, no matter how small, and his widow was even more radical about it; she became one of the biggest funders of abortion in the country.
RIP.
But remember that your shaping of a baby and small child can greatly influence the wonderful older child that will develop. However, lots of men leave that mucky stage to the moms, true.

He hit some nails on the head.
