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 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.

The story of a girlhood lived in the glow of a woodstove from one
of the country’s most distinguished and beloved authors, now back
in print At the heart of a home in the Turtle Mountains sits a
woodstove. It is where Mama makes her good soup, where she cooks a
potato for warming hands on icy mornings, where she heats a stone
for warming cold toes at night. It warms the winter nights and
keeps Windigo, the ice monster, at bay. On the stove’s blue
enamel door are raised letters, The Range Eternal, and in the
dancing flames through the window below, a child can see pictures:
the range of the buffalo, the wolf and the bear, the eagles and
herons and cranes: truly, the Range Eternal. In these charmingly
illustrated pages, Louise Erdrich tells a story of hearth and home,
of memory and imagination, of childhood recaptured in the
reflection of a shiny blue woodstove, of the warm heart of
family.Â
A Biography about Theodor Geisel and his transformation from a doodler into the beloved Dr. Seuss. Little Ted Geisel always had a sketchpad and pencil in hand. He was a Boy Scout with a penchant for creating zany creatures. He grew up with a love of books and words from his mother, and his inventor father spawned a wildly imaginative and perfectionist side. It’s no wonder that these qualities led to the beloved work of Dr. Seuss, the Great Doodler.
Follow his career as an ad man, political cartoonist, creator of forty-five indelible children’s books, and Pulitzer Prize winner. Not bad for a lifelong doodler! Includes fun facts and several of Dr. Seuss’s original sketches and artwork!
