A follow-on book to "A Hole is to Dig". More thoughtful and imaginative definitions and sayings of children. "A screaming song is good to know in case you need to scream." "A baby is very convenient to be." "The minute you meet some people you know you will hate their mothers." "Suppose old people grew down as young people grew up." "When you're very very tired just throw your tired away." "A baby makes the mother and father -- otherwise they're just plain people." (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060286369, Hardcover)

Continuing a two-year program to bring back twenty-two Maurice Sendak treasures long out of print, our second season of publication highlights one of the most successful author-illustrator pairings of all time. A pioneer of great children's literature, Ruth Krausspublished more than thirty books for children during a career that spanned forty years. Krauss and Sendak collaborated on eight books, and we are delighted to reintroduce four of these gems in brand-new editions, together with a favorite Maurice Sendak picture book.
