"What would you like to eat?"Even when a hungry lion comes to pay a call, Pierre won't snap out of his ennui. Every child has one of these days sometimes. Mix in a stubborn nature, a touch of apathy and a haughty pout and it can turn noxious. Parents may cajole, scold, bribe, threaten--all to no avail. When this mood strikes, the Pierres of the world will not budge, even for the carnivorous king of beasts.
"I don't care!"
"Some lovely cream of wheat?"
"I don't care!"
Don't sit backwards on your chair."
"I don't care!"
"Or pour syrup on your hair."
"I don't care!"
Created by one of the best-loved author-illustrators of children's books, Maurice Sendak's 1962 cautionary tale is hardly a pedantic diatribe against children who misbehave. Still, by the end of this lilting, witty story, most children will take the moral--care!--to heart. Pierre's downward-turned eyebrows, his parents' pleading faces, and the lion's almost sympathetic demeanour as he explains that he will soon eat Pierre, make the package perfect. (Ages 4 to 8) . --Emilie Coulter, Amazon.com
