This is not an impressive book. It contains various plates of Dr. Suess and his art not related to the many children's books he wrote during his life. Some of the unique characters and definitely the illustration style on many of these paintings evoke the whimsey and fun he is known for, but unfortunately much of what is shown is just not that interesting. Nothing new is really shown here or learned by the reader so I'm at a loss as to what purpose this book really fills. Pass.

I love a good art book and I often pick them up from the library to browse through, but I've never reviewed one, simply because I just don't feel qualified! However, this one was so much fun and so different that I just had to share.

If you are a fan of Dr. Seuss, you will love this simple picture book, filled will all sorts of strange delights!

A few of my favorites:

1. Oh, I'd Love to Go to the Party, But I'm Absolutely Dead (p. 26)
2. There They Stood Exactly as They Were Created (p. 28)
3. Gosh!, Do I Look as Old as That! (p. 45)
4. Green Cat with Lights (p. 58)
5. Untitled (p. 86-87)

Not what I was expecting. Very surealist. Very dark. Plainly he was a fan of Escher.

so good

childish book

A lot of beautiful work, a few utterly remarkable stand-outs.

crazy look into Dr Seuss and his approach to art.

This doesn't really count as "reading," but these works are funny and touching.

Good book with new art not found in his books, but not much text, just a brief intro. It's also a very short book and it appears there may be a more thorough catalog/monograph of his artwork since this book was published.

I have a new appreciation for Seuss’ work after reading this beautiful book.

This was amazing!! Purely the art, no commentary. I kept envisioning the books that could have been. I would love to see an exhibit of Dr. Seuss’ Art!

My favorite coffee table book. It’s thin but I look through it often. His dark side was so human and authentic. I love looking through his lenses.
