FRONT FLAP

"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 my" 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 by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher." Dr. Seuss's text is wonderfully embellished by the geometric cut-out dust jacket and children who express their moods in color. A big blue bird, a red horse, a brown bear and little yellow bees, an otter, a purple otter and dinosaur, pink flamingos, and a howling black wolf.

Artists Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher have collaborated on over 45 books, "using an unusual approach wherein both artists conceive, draw, design, and paint."
