Ruth Krauss and Maurice Sendak ~ Harper & Row, 1960
...and speaking of butterflies, I'll leave you this week with some sweet sentiments from another Sendak/Krauss way-back-when collaboration. TGIF!

Ruth Krauss... classic weirdness, but the Sendak illustrations make up for it. Ha ha ha.
The wit is magical!
I love the characters' little jackets and cropped pants!
These made me giggle! A lovely start to the day :-)
Sendak's illustrations are always a wonderful treat!
I want to learn a screaming song, a loud, energy purging, screaming song. :^D
My fave by Krauss: A Hole is to Dig. Her sayings are so genuinely child-like that I sometimes wonder if she interviewed a bunch of kindergarteners!
