Bears

(2) PS Illustrated by Maurice Sendak. In Sendak's exploration of the line between fantasy and reality, the jacket, pre-title page, and title page set up a book-long chase between a boy (the image of Max in his wolf suit) and his kidnapped teddy bear through crowds of life-sized bears. Broad spreads, upfront composition, simplicity of rendering, and pacing suit this to the very young. The hide-and-seek romping offers much to discover.
