The Rainbow Goblins!
The Rainbow Goblins, by Ul De Rico (1978)
I remember the oil-on-oak paintings in this book seeping into my pores as a kid.
Summary: Seven goblins travel the land lassoing rainbows and gorging themselves on the colors until, one day, the rainbows devise a solution.
The production team for the film version of The NeverEnding Story based many of their storyboards and animations on De Rico’s illustrations. (via Wikipedia)
