Maurice Sendak’s standards for picture books are so high that if I were a parent, I’d look at those books just for that reason. Thanks so much.

These were originally published about 50 years ago (and yes, I remember reading them as a child), but are still available new in paperback today.

I’ve read Willems’ “Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity” as it is a 2008 Caldecott Honor Book, but I’ll have to see if I can find “TiME to SAY ‘PLEASE’” at the public library today. After your review, I won’t be buying the latter for my curriculum collection at the university!
