Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!


Hello, it's me Imber :) I just realized that march 2 was Dr seuss b-day so this is too make up for missing that.
Okay, who here has read the “Oh the things you can think” by Dr Seuss? It really is one of my favorites by him.
There is A LOT happening in each picture. In one there's quite a lot of elephants. How many? Just ask this guy, He should know.

Yup... He should know. They went even more into depth with the yellow duck things.
wow can we get a close up there?
Yup.
You know they could have used a color that actually goes with yellow!
Green? Nope.

P.S. We LOOOOOVE comments :D

Popular Boy



Popular boy!!!
Who knew that so many skilled artists visited our library? I think this particular person really understands use of materials. I mean, do you see the way his cheek and ear are colored with a pencil, whereas the rest is with a crayon? Genius. This is avant-garde stuff, guys.

The pale neck against the blue marker shirt is a nice touch, too.

Imber just couldn't bear to remove the color. Not that she could, since it was crayon, colored pencil, and pen. But still. (Of couse she didn't start screaming vengefully! What are you talking about?) 
This one is called "Shady Lady"
Here's "Big Brat"

The thing about this that makes me laugh so much is that the drawing is actually titled "popular boy." Am I the only one who finds that hilarious? Actually, all the book's drawings have titles like that!

Well, that's all for now. See you next week!

Imber gets sad

Hi it's me Imber, I’m sorry I haven't posted recently (at all). I will try to do better, but, you know it's not like those books are going to repair themselves. Well when I was at the rigorous job of repairing books I came across a book that looked totally fine. It's a pretty cool book too! It's called Psychology for Kids. It's basicly all these questions and tests to see “what kind of a thinker you are.
 

Any ways I was kind of having fun laughing at the beautiful art work..
when all of a sudden I realized why it was in the repairs.
yeah, that's crayon. I think I officially hate all things I can't erase with a eraser. For those of you who don't know me personally, when I can't repair a book just because some person decided this page needs a little more color, I get sad. :(
--
this book makes me very sad. But wait that's not all. The defiler of this book got a little excited and guess what?
THEY FILLED OUT EVERY QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I’m just glad it was in pencil)
So after recovering from the initial shock of the colorfulness of that page I had to go through, what, 100 pages of answers and erase EVERY SINGLE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trust me I know WAY too well whether this person is a selective thinker or not!
