Book Reviews of My Many Colored Days
Book Review: An absolutely wonderful book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first heard/read this book at a mom's play group and I ordered it immediately. It's fun to read and has a good message: you can have different moods on different days and it's all okay. I love reading it--every page has a different emotion, so that's how I read it: fast, slow, loud, happy, quiet, sad...it's all in there. My 9-month old enjoys it now for the bright colors (and hopefully the way I read it!) but I am sure it will become even more important to him as he gets older and can learn the lessons.
Summary of My Many Colored Days
Illustrated in full color. Accompanying a manuscript Dr. Seuss wrote in1973, 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 words and illustrations of Dr. Seuss have alway seemed inseparable--a peerless fusion of verbal and visual wit. Yet when the good doctor wrote the manuscript for My Many Colored Days in 1973, he specified that the book should be illustrated by "a great color artist who will not be dominated by me." Twenty-three years later, he has gotten his wish. Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher have produced a series of rich, painterly images that could never be mistaken for faux-Seuss. They have, however, caught something of his simplicity, and just as important, his sense of whimsy.
