Krauss, Ruth

(3) PS Illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Though Krauss and Sendak have had many imitators, their work in this reissue often holds the line against the sentimentality these imitations display. Krauss's whimsical text consists of maxims a child--a very cerebral child--might espouse ("A baby is very convenient to be"), and Sendak's line drawings of children realize and extend those maxims happily.
