The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss unveils a collection of fabulous, whimsical paintings that were created for Dr. Seuss's own pleasure and never shown to the public. These works reveal Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) in a whole new light, depicting outlandish creatures in otherworldly settings.

The paintings use a dazzling rainbow of hues not seen in the primary-color palette of his books for children, and exhibit a sophisticated and often quite unrestrained side of the artist. The book includes 65 color illustrations that showcase Dr. Seuss's hidden masterpieces.
