Lol it’s just a kids’ book. Nothing much to it and I don’t really see how the moral is relevant, since I don’t know any kids who actually act like Pierre.

Makes me smile when I read it. I hope I can take the moral to heart.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I enjoyed this book even more than Where The Wild Things Are. The story is cute, but I love the darker undertone and the bratty Pierre. Listening to the Dresden Dolls and/or Carole King song version makes it stick in my head for days (and weeks) at a time. I remember saying "I don't care" a lot as a child, so I guess I should be grateful I didn't get eaten by a lion. (That said, as bratty as Pierre is, I think him saying "I don't care" is hilarious each time. Especially when paired with the illustrations.)

This books is to teach your child that only says "I don't care" that if they keep it up a lion will eat them.

Pierre just doesn't care. He changes his mind after spending some time in the belly of a lion.

Even mediocre Maurice Sendak is fun. I rate this fairly mediocre because I forgot most of the plot immediately, and what I didn't forget was predictable. But it was still fun!

This one was actually more enjoyable to remember then reread, which is kind of weird. To re-read it, was to deal with repetitive nature of the writing. But it just kind of has a flow that the explicit prologue, chapters and moral just add to the humor.

I've always loved this book. Pierre is such a stinker! And I love that the lion is not killed.

Pierre doesn't care - lift your game Pierre you pelican!
Anyway a fun little story with memorable lines and a ridiculous plot involving a lion.
All good fun!

Why has no one ever shown me this book before? It rocks. Maurice Sendak is my hero.
