My Many Colored Days
by Dr. Seuss
Recommended in 2000
From the Publisher:
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.
