Chicken Soup with Rice
One Was Johnny
Alligators All Round
Pierre: A Cautionary Tale
A modest but deceptively spacious quartet, consisting of a book of months, a forward and backward counting rhyme, an alligator alphabet and a cautionary tale in verse, all cautionary tale in verse, all presented in a quaint miniature format. Sendak's drawings and text are admirably economical, conveying narrative richness in a few deft lines. The books are attractive, robustly constructed and would fit snugly into a toddler's pocket.
