Many people owe their literary childhood to the wonderful rhymes and illustrations of Dr. Seuss. I remember reading Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories over and over, and that special day in 1st grade when our class actually made green eggs and ham (a little food coloring goes a long way!) So when I got the request to be part of this show I was more that ecstatic. I couldn't wait to illustrate some fuzzy Seuss-inspired trees and imaginative creatures. Here are my two pieces that I contributed to the show:

This piece is based on the lovely but jealous Gertrude McFuzz who get's greedy and eats too many feather-growing berries to outshine another birdy. Oh those feathers are pretty but poor Gertrude couldn't fly with them and she eventually has to get them all plucked out.

brilliant!! so did you like green eggs and ham? :)
I remember that the eggs and ham tasted kinda off. It tasted a little bitter due to the food coloring I think. Thanks Daria!
Fantastic! I love that tree house and those totally Seussy trees and fab colors. Outstanding! (My favorites were "Happy Birthday to Me" and "The Sleep Book" and yes, read them a million times. Approximately.)
