The “nearly every place” is vague, but the tone of the sentence, with “of course,” is so certain. Example: “And they wanted green paint, of course*, because nearly every place they liked to go was green.” *italics added for emphasis. The Color Kittens is similarly soothing to read out loud–many lines in the book rhyme, and those parts that don’t are written conversationally and almost nonsensically. The Color Kittens was written in 1949 by Margaret Wise Brown, who is best known for the soothing and poetic Goodnight Moon. This gem is part of the Little Golden Treasures series, part of the Golden Books ouvre, published by Random House. The best thing about The Color Kittens, originally published in 1949: it’s way cheaper than a hit of LSD, and produces similar results. It’s a great day at the old toy store day job when my love for vintage things, good books, and kooky surreality meet up in an item that costs less than $5.
