One of the best things Sendak wrote besides "Where the Wild Things Are". I had these as a child and they are now a favorite with my son. Plus all children love a small special book, let alone four! One is about the alphabet, one a counting book, one about seasons, and one about Pierre who would only say "I don't care". If you are interested in these, an excellent accompaniment would be the Really Rosie CD which includes the words of these books set to music by Carole King. A real treasure.
