Review:
"Dr. Seuss didn't finish this picture of Fred. So I helped him out; and I drew Fred a head," begins this delightful coloring book, in which young illustrators follow simple rhyming instructions to fill in the missing elements of the picture. Children will enjoy coloring in legs for the Sneggs (a typically whimsical Seuss creature with a long body, fur, and stripes), a Blue Hoo-Fish for fisherman Gish, and the front of a Hamika-Snamika-Bamika-Bunt--no easy stunt! The crowning achievement is a drawing of one's own "Big Something," framed importantly in gold: "Big Somethings aren't easy./ They're hard for a kid./ But I can draw one by myself./ And I did!" These 20 pages of full-color but incomplete quirky drawings will inspire fun, creative pictures from your favorite budding artist, and the short verses help teach reading skills. (Ages 4 to 8)
