About this title

Synopsis

SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK

NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY'S ONE HUNDRED TITLES FOR READING AND SHARING LIST PICK

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.
