Representaion In Pursuance Of Books The Rainbow Goblins
* * * Read and reviewed with my niece Emma * * * The very idea of reading this book had Emma racing to finish her math and grammar homework, so that we could get to reading time. It must have sounded like a promising read, I think because of her love/hate relationship with goblins. You see, we've built forts for heroes (us) and created dark blanket caves as a lair for goblins (usually pillows). We've then made valiant sorties from the fort into the goblin lair with our Dollar Store swords and armor to take back the plastic coins stolen from us by the goblins. These adventures are epic, frightening and exciting to my niece, who loves playing this game...provided I go first into the goblin lair. So here we have a wonderfully illustrated book about a touchstone subject in my young niece's life. Add to it that this particular brand of goblin likes to drain the color from rainbows so that they might drink the procured colorful liquid, and what you have is an entirely engrossing book for this particular 7-year-old reader. The story is solid. Seven goblins go on a quest for rainbow sustenance. How will the rainbow save itself from these evil doers? It may need a little help from its friends. The real attraction to this book are the fantastic illustrations!
They're absolutely captivating! We spent more time looking at the pictures than reading the book. However, the whole package put together made for a terrific reading time experience for the both of us!

SynopsisBeautiful artwork accompanies this story of seven golbins in search of a delicious rainbow only to be outwitted by the flowers. Through this experience, the rainbow learns to never touch the earth again.ReviewFirst and foremost, the artwork in this book is stunning. It is a reproduction of Ul De Rico's original art which was oil paints on oak panels. The colorful and powerful art is so carfully rendered that the wood grain can be seen on the pages. The lyrical narrative matches theA timeless picture book classic with breathtaking illustrations.
My parents used to read this book to my sister and I as children. I need to find where I can get a copy to read to my own children. the illustrations are still vividly engrained in my mind. This book is a must read for kids!
Those paintings were out of control.
Totally 70s trippy book. Old school Disney should have made a movie out of this one.
This astonishing book is filled with oil paintings on oak panels, which are reproduced about 2/3 of the original size. They are breathtaking. I was pretty much obsessed with rainbows in the 70s, and I bought this incredibly beautiful book when it first came out - I read it a million times. The story tells of 7 evil goblins who capture rainbows and drink the colors. They learn of a valley where the rainbow is born, and they go there to gobble up the final, beautiful rainbow. They shelter in a
Great story. Wonderful illustrations. The goblins try to drain the rainbows, but the flowers defend it.
