Nutshell Library - Maurice Sendak

An alphabet book, a book of rhymes about each month, a counting book, and a cautionary tale are all written and illustrated by Sendak. What more could anyone ask?--School Library Journal. n nFrom Maurice Sendak, the Caldecott Medal-winning genius who created Where the Wild Things Are, comes Nutshell Library, which will enchant readers with four classic titles.n nContaining pocket-size versions of perennial favorites Alligators All Around, Chicken Soup with Rice, One Was Johnny, and Pierre, this pint-size library is perfect for small hands.

n nLearn the alphabet with silly alligators, drink chicken soup with rice every month, count visitors with a boy named Johnny, and survive a scare with a boy who doesn't care. Endless adventures await in these lyrical stories that children, and their grown-up readers, will love reading and sharing over and over again.n nA wonderful stocking stuffer or baby shower gift, Maurice Sendak's Nutshell Library will evoke powerful memories for many, and the rhymes and stories continue to speak to new generations of little ones.n nAnd if you prefer your Nutshell Library books on their own and not quite so tiny, each is also now available in a board book edition.n
