Pierre: A Cautionary Tale in Five Chapters and a Prologue by Maurice Sendak
5.0
Read in October 2017
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.)
