Illustrated in full color. Accompanying a manuscript Dr. Seuss wrote
in
1973, is 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 has
finally
ended--after the manuscript languished for more than two decades--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, Dr. Seuss's vision is brought to life. This rare and beautiful
book is
bound to appeal to both the innocent young and the most sophisticated
seniors.
