It's just weird that RCA Victor, releasing a 1955 narrative kiddie record of The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins by Dr. Seuss, would assign cover art to Flora instead of using Ted Geisel's original figures. Probably a copyright permissions—or lack of them—issue. Still, it's weird. You'd think the Seuss rights owners who gave RCA permission to use the literary work would object to another artist's commercial portrayal of the classic illustrations. Flora's great, but Seuss is—Seuss!
