Summary: I had this book when I was a little girl
Review: I had this book when I was about 9 and I also had an accompanying audio version (a record) that was a fun way for me to memorize the verbal gymnastics that Ms. Knauss illustrates in her writing. It's a true 70's book, ready for a young imaginative mind to tackle. It's fun, I highly recommend it to anyone, child or adult.

Summary: The Best Children's Book Ever!
Review: I LOVED this book as a child, so much that I asked for a copy as a birthday gift as an adult. This is the most visually entertaining, linguistically exciting, playful and joyful story I ever read in a children's book. Sendak's simple illustrations are profoundly expressive and appropriate for Kraus' self-indugent imaginary escapade. Yes, to most people it probably seems a little bit weird, but if you have an imaginitive child in your life....BUY HIM OR HER THIS BOOK!

Summary: I'm getting one for every child I know
Review: This book came to our family as a hand-me-down from a neighbor for my 2-year-old son, and now we can't live with out it. The rhymes are so witty, entertaining and infectious that I can't tell people about the book without quoting verbatim. Krauss's playful use of language is eternally endearing and Sendaks quirky illustrations of chair-chomping lions and clumsy giants are a treasure. I had feared that this book would be out of print. Now that I have found it, I am buying it for every child (and parent) I know starting with my three-year-old nephew.
