A daring imagination has woven a simple rhyme into a brilliantly original tale about Jennie, the Sealyham terrier, who seeks Experience and becomes the star of the World Mother Goose Theatre.

Sendak is the daddy of them all when it comes to picture books - the words, the rhythm and the design are all wonderful.
