Recognizing the intrinsic literary merit of much of children's writing, Ruth Krauss listened to their ideas, poems, and stories and wrote them down with a professional's touch. Maurice Sendak's drawings highlight the whimsy and logic of these writings, and also stand on their own as picture-poems. The result is seventeen very funny, poignant, insightful, exuberant pieces of literature that bring out all the best of childhood imaginings.
