This is such a cool book! It has incredible work by Seuss that you've never seen before (and some that you would be surprised are his). It's inspiring, colorful, and fun.
This book is full of art by Dr. Seuss that you never saw in any of his books. There is a reason for this. Many of these pictures are PG-13 and not suitable for children's books. There are several cartoon nudes along with other strange wonders. If you are considering buying this to share with your children, I would reconsider. This art is for teens and adults who would like to appreciate another side to Dr. Seuss. There is no doubt that this art is creative and colorful and not a common style. I enjoyed looking at this other art as I have a high appreciation for art of all types. And it is also interesting to see Dr. Seuss' quirky style and sense of humor. He most definitely did not look at the world with the same lens as the rest of the world. This book is also a little thin at 94 pages. I would have liked to see so much more from this amazing man who changed the world of children's literature.
Theodor Geisel was a very complex man; much more so than his children's books would lead you to believe. Recommended if you're interested in a more intimate and sometimes dark look into his mind and art. Some pics not for children!
Awesome to see the art of Seuss/Geisel. Wonderful surrealism with his whimsical touch on more adult themes, but still with a child-like innocence to them. Excellent art book.
Dr. Seuss books are not ones I read as a kid, though I've loved them as an adult. This fun book is like visiting his private art gallery, only you can do so while still in your PJs. There are no words describing the art - other than titles, date, and media used - the art speaks for itself, and one could really spend hours looking at all the details he incorporated into his work. I've always loved the whimsical art of Dr. Seuss, and loved flipping through this collection of personal art. The man's imagination is an inspiration to us all.
If you loved Dr. Seuss, you're going to flip over this book, which contains Geisel's (the real name of Dr. S) paintings and sculptures. Think the Cat in the Hat on acid, lost in Alice's Wonderland and you'll have a bit of an idea of where these go. Delightful, and spooky. Makes me want to own an original.
