(  ) MrsBond | Jan 23, 2009 |  A kid's nursery rhyme in large gay letters and colorful playing cards held by giant rats belie the scathing undercurrent of the artist's commentary on homelessness in the Madison avenue age. Sendak at his best. (  ) sthitha_pragjna | May 24, 2006 | Maurice Sendak is not given enough credit for his courageous and inventive social commentary. The story here is multilayered, and very compelling -- and it's all handled through the illustration of two older, lesser known children's rhymes. rosinalippi | Apr 8, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
We are all in the dumps
For diamonds are thumps
The kittens are gone to St. Paul's!
The baby is bit
The moon's in a fit
And the houses are built
Without walls
Jack and Guy
Went out in the Rye
And they found a little boy
With one black eye
Come says Jack let's knock
Him on the head
No says Guy
Let's buy him some bread
You buy one loaf
And I'll buy two
And we'll bring him up
As other folk do
Two traditional rhymes from Mother Goose, Ingeniously joined and interpreted by Maurice Sendak.
