My Many Colored Days (1996)

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
... full descriptionr>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.
