Details
Accompanying a manuscript Dr. Seuss wrote in 1973, was a letter outlining his hopes of finding a great color artist who will not be dominated by me. The late Dr. Seuss saw his original text about feelings and moods as part of the first book ever to be based on beautiful illustrations and sensational color. The quest for an artist finally ended — after the manuscript languished for more than two decades — he had gotten his wish — at the paint brushes of husband-and-wife team Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher whose stunning, expressive paintings reveal such striking images as a bright red horse kicking its heels, a cool and quiet green fish, a sad and lonely purple dinosaur, and an angrily howling black wolf. Using a spectrum of vibrant colors and a menagerie of animals, this unique book does for the range of human moods and emotions what Oh, the Places You'll Go! does for the human life cycle. Here is a wonderful way for parents to talk with children about their feelings. With Johnson and Fancher's atmospheric, large-scale paintings bursting off the pages (which could never be mistaken for faux-Seuss), Dr. Seuss's vision is brought to life. They have, however, caught something of his simplicity, and just as important, his sense of whimsy. This rare and beautiful book is bound to appeal to both the innocent young and the most sophisticated seniors. Dr. Seuss's humorous but thought-provoking books are ideal for independent readers or reading aloud and are perfect for sparking lively discussions about varied subjects.
