Higglety Pigglety Pop! cover

A wonderfully funny tale about a little dog with a big dream from the creator of Where The Wild Things Are.

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.This book tells about a daring imagination that 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. -- S Magazine * Sunday Express *
If there is more to life than having everything, there, is also more to life than having nothing; Jennie's farewell letter to her old master is written from Castle Yonder. In synopsis, this sounds both more and less ambiguous than it is -- you can't compress the reverberations into a review, and certainly not the ominous illustrations; it may by-pass some adults because Sendak speaks directly to the elastic imagination of children. * Kirkus reviews *
