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—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.
