(2) PS An artist paints animals the “wrong” color: a blue horse, red alligator, green lion, etc. When Carle, as we learn in an afterword, was growing up in Nazi Germany, this mixing up of natural coloration was seen as degenerate. While the book’s simple, direct text and large type indicates a young audience, Carle is also making a larger, more autobiographical statement.
