Dr Seuss Cat Behind The Hat HC

This exuberant and beautifully produced book juxtaposes the secret art of Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) with his iconic children's art. Illustrator by day, surrealist by night, Ted Geisel created a body of previously little-known work during his leisure hours that he called his 'Midnight Paintings,' and which is now known as 'The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss.' This volume juxtaposes Geisel's 'Midnight Paintings' with his best-loved children's books because this was how Dr. Seuss constructed his creative life - his days devoted to literature for children, his nights to letting his mind and palette wander to even stranger shores.
