Stacy Green, January 9, 2008 (view all comments by Stacy Green)
When your preschooler is ready to graduate from "Where the Wild Things Are," fear not! This book offers lenghtier prose (and thus, more opportunity for Sendal's wry wit) in its telling of Jenny the dog's adventures as she seeks whatever is missing in her life, despite having "everything." One cannot help but love the message of fulfillment found when an undemanding life is traded for one of self-discovery.
Finally, The rhythm and humor of Sendak's writing will make memorization of certain lines unavoidable. Your family, like ours, may soon be employing as catchphrases lines like "You're pretty smart -- for a cat."
