YOUNGER FICTION
Sendak, Maurice

The Sign on Rosie's Door

(3) 1-3 This reissue holds up well: Sendak's spare, conversational text presents four episodes of the egocentric ringleader Rosie, a.k.a. Alinda the lovely lady singer, as she alternately charms and bosses four other children on her block. The two-color illustrations with their strong lines convey what many more elaborate pictures fail to: personality, suggestion, and motion.
