Whether it’s January, June, or December, every month is perfect for Chicken Soup with Rice ! In this beloved classic, Maurice Sendak blends his signature artwork with rhymes you’ll want to read over and over—in every season. Chicken Soup with Rice , along with the other three classic Nutshell Library titles ( Alligators All Around , One Was Johnny , and Pierre ), is the first board book edition of Maurice Sendak’s original work. You loved Nutshell Library as a miniature collection, and these large board books will make it even easier for children to share with their grown-up readers.
