Matthews Dream Softcover

"One of Lionni's familiar-looking mice lives in a junk-strewn attic. When
Matthew visits an art gallery, he is entranced. That night Matthew dreams about
walking hand in hand through 'playful patches of color.' He awakens, his
inspiration stays with him and he goes on to paint great things. Lionni uses
familiar collage and color techniques, but what colors! He employs bright, rich
hues that stand out smartly against white backgrounds."-- "School Library
