Sendak's humorous illustrations give new life to these lesser known tales.

These were dark and weird, and I didn't get the point. However, the illustrations are definitely creative and interesting, and I'm sure this would go over better for other audiences.

Maurice uses to obscure nursery rhymes that I never heard of. They are short rhymes. He almost turns this into a wordless story. He uses the sentences to craft a much bigger story. I love the art here. Maurice is amazing at creating unusual characters that are unique. Maurice has a wonderful voice. He is a man who has a strange point of view. He gave the world something great. I enjoy this little story. It was a lot of fun.
The kids laughed at this book too. They thought it was fun. They gave it 4 stars. This went over well in our home.

all the things one wants in a book to be read aloud (including plenty of wordless pages to improv over)

Of course the illustrations are wonderful (if some are a little much for kids now), but the text still baffles me. Working on understanding it!
