My Many Colored Days is a children's book written by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss. It features animals representing different emotions on different days. These include a horse, flamingos, a seal, a wolf, an anteater, a bee, a fish, and a bird.
Accompanying a manuscript Geisel wrote in 1974 was a letter outlining his hopes of finding "a great color artist who will not be dominated by me".[1] Geisel saw his original text about feelings and moods as part of the "first book ever to be based on beautiful illustrations and sensational color".[1]
It was published posthumously in 1996 by Alfred A. Knopf, after Geisel's death in 1991. It features paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. A rhyming story, it describes each day in terms of a particular color which is in turn associated with a specific emotion. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association listed the book in its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children".[2]
