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 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.
