Dr Seuss + The Wizard of Oz + Arabian Nights.

I feel like I "read" this in ignorance, without ever having familiarized myself with any other of Woodring's works, which apparently feature the same characters. That said, with words this would have been vaguely comprehensible. Without words, it's just one long acid trip, though an interesting one if you manage to make up your own story to go along with the drawings.

This book made me cry in the middle of my 4th grade classroom. Not. Cool.

A very genuine book. Beautifully written and mirrored.
