A review by mbincolor
Bumble-Ardy by Maurice Sendak
4.0
Bumble-Ardy said, “Screw y’all; I’m throwing my own party!”
The illustrations remind me of Swine Lake, which he illustrated for James Marshall. It’s not as bright and happy and sweet as Where The Wild Things Are—in fact, parts of it are kind of creepy and dark, macabre, grotesque—but I love his imaginative illustrations.
It’s a little bizarre for a children’s title, but I like it—and it has a lovely rhyme.
I wonder what a child might think of it. I would certainly venture to share it, despite the reviews bc it’s so (mature?) unusual for a children’s book stylistically.
I think it’s cool to see him do different styles of art, so that’s my 2¢.
