About the book
Theodor Geisel, writing as Dr. Seuss, created this picture book as an invitation to imagine. The narrator opens by asking the reader to picture familiar colors and animals, then quickly pushes toward invented things, including a fluffy creature called a Guff and an elaborate dessert. From there the suggestions grow into made-up activities, such as a swimming pool filled with balloons, and into odd questions about how much water a group of elephants can drink or what might happen on meeting a mysterious Jibboo. The book celebrates the limitless dreams that imagination can produce.
