Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
First published in 1952, this hilarious classic is now available in paperback to a new generation. Krauss's definitions--from "toes are to wiggle" to "a hat is to wear on a train"--tell what's what--and Sendak's inimitable early illustrations show how. All ages.
Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

--NYT
"A unique book . . . with drawings bouncing with action and good humor."
