Bears

There's bears, bears everywheres! On the stairs and under chairs! Follow the rascally Max from Where the Wild Things Are in this new adventure about...Bears! There are 'bears, bears, everywheres' in this hilarious rhyming text, coupled with the classic illustration style of Sendak. With just 27 words, the inimitable Ruth Krauss created a charming little universe. Now Maurice Sendak has turned her bears into a troupe of players in a slapstick comedy starring a familiar boy in a wolf suit. A perfectly surreal bedtime read for young children.

This outstanding American illustrator and author was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1928, the son of Jewish immigrants from Poland. Sendak's career as an illustrator began after a stint as a window dresser. He illustrated more than 40 books between 1951 and 1962. Where the Wild Things Are -- the book that made Sendak's name internationally, appeared in 1964, and its popularity has never waned.
