A 1947 “Caldecott Honor” book, McElligot’s Pool clearly stands out among Ted Geisel’s artistic accomplishments and is one of just two Seuss books developed from vibrantly colored paintings. Ted’s original paintings from this book remain out of the public eye and, to this day, are under the archival care of the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California, San Diego.
