Dr. Seuss. My Many Colored Days

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1996. — ISBN: 0679875972.Illustrated by Johnson Steve & Fancher Lou.Here is a completely new, and different kind of book by Dr. Seuss! Using a spectrum of colors, a menagerie of animals, and his familiar bouncing rhyme, Dr. Seuss wrote this book about feelings and moods in 1973. He stated in a letter that he hoped “a great color artist who will not be dominated by me" could be found to illustrate the manuscript, one who might bring a “new art style and pattern of thinking” to his words. At last his text has found the perfect complement in the stunning expressive paintings of Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. With the playful type design, five is one beautiful book, bubbling with the kind of fun and emotional truth that is bound to appeal to very young children as well as to Dr. Seuss, all ages.
