From Chase Art: A saw fish with such a long snout that he needs an assistant to help him about. "The whimsical images which comprise Dr. Seuss' 1947 book, McElligot's Pool show a range of color and technique rarely seen in Seuss books for children. Here, Seuss draws upon his talent as a painter to convey a fantastical world which unfolds beneath the surface of Seuss' fictitious McElligot's Pool.
In the mid 1940's Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) had become especially intrigued by the breakthrough in cost and quality of lithography, which was overtaking letterpress printing with a spectrum of color never seen in children's picture books."
