I realized with Christmas right around the corner I wanted to share these with you because they would make wonderful gifts for many of the loved ones in your life.Īnd I also wanted to share an easy recipe for Chicken Soup With Rice, in honor of the first Maurice Sendak book I fell in love with. They are charming and fun and perfect for little kids and adults alike. How incredible!īoy did Jonathan and I love reading these books. In fact, this last one was actually released on September 4th, it was discovered years after Maurice Sendak’s passing and co-authored with his longtime friend, Arthur Yorinks. Then we moved on to Outside Over There, In The Night Kitchen, and Presto and Zesto in Limboland. For example, we started with Chicken Soup With Rice. Today I sat down with my son Jonathan and we read some of Maurice’s books. I’m so glad that these books are continuing to be shared for generations. I recently became aware of the Maurice Sendak Foundation which is devoted to promoting greater public interest in and understanding of the literary, illustrative and theatrical arts as well as promoting the artistic legacy of Maurice Sendak. The book is very well-loved (falling apart) and I have shared it with my children as a bedtime story too many times to count. The illustrations enchanted me and the imaginative verses enthralled me. I still remember exactly where I was (in my 1st-grade classroom) and who I was with (my best friend, Ashlee) when our teacher read that book to us. It was a cute little thing called Chicken Soup With Rice. I admit though, that was not the first Maurice Sendak book I was ever introduced to.
Is there anyone out there who doesn’t love that book? I doubt it.
Maurice Sendak is an author you are probably familiar with… he wrote Where the Wild Things Are.
