Ruth Krauss... classic weirdness, but the Sendak illustrations make up for it. Ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThe wit is magical!
ReplyDeleteI love the characters' little jackets and cropped pants!
ReplyDeleteThese made me giggle! A lovely start to the day :-)
ReplyDeleteSendak's illustrations are always a wonderful treat!
ReplyDeleteI want to learn a screaming song, a loud, energy purging, screaming song. :^D
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
