"Counting from 1 to 10 and back againâthatâs the concept in this never-before-published book from the renowned childrenâs book creator. With pure Sendak whimsy, this simple story will grab readersâ attention. Useful as a counting book for young children, this charmer also lends itself to home or classroom discussions of strategies for recognizing and dealing with obstacles and frustration. A newly discovered treasure from a beloved childrenâs book magician." âSchool Library Journal (starred review)
"This previously unpublished treasure from the late Sendak recalls the creatorâs Nutshell Library in its gentle-hued simplicity. The action runs full circle from mirth to mayhem and back, and droll, controlled sketches order the chaos, highlighting each new development, beat by beat, en route to a satisfying 'all done." âPublishers Weekly (starred review)
"The M emblazoned on his stage podium could just as well stand for Max or Mickey or Maurice, as another little boy with flair, talent, and determination. Thereâs also drama in the changing expressions on the boyâs face as a magic trick that begins in pride and insouciance starts to overwhelm him. A true Sendak hero, he sets himself to rights. Goes straight to the heart. " âHorn Book (starred review)
