i love this book: Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or, There Must Be More to Life

People's preference in books is so interesting. I recently brought home Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or, There Must Be More to Life, by Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are, to read to my son. My husband did not like this book. At. All.

I loooooved it. So did my son. That makes me wonder if I should even be writing these posts at all. I mean, what are the chances that someone reading this will have the same taste as me, and this post will actually be helpful for them?

Well, I can't stop myself, because I really loved this book. Here's the premise: Jennie, a dog with everything decides to leave her cushy home in search of "something more." Out in the world, things get interesting: she attempts to apply for a position of leading lady in the World Mother Goose Theater, but, unfortunately, doesn't have enough experience to land the part. What follows is an adventure that is weird, funny, surreal, a little bit scary, and heart-warming. Definitely a different world than most children's books I've read, and a great read for child and parent alike.

Suggested age range: 4-8 years per Amazon (my son is 3)
