"Counting from 1 to 10 and back againthats the concept in this never-before-published book from the renowned childrens book creator. With pure Sendak whimsy, this simple story will grab readers attention. Useful as a counting book for young children, this charmer also lends itself to home or classroom discussions of strategies for recognizing and dealing with obstacles and frustration. A newly discovered treasure from a beloved childrens book magician." School Library Journal (starred review)
"This previously unpublished treasure from the late Sendak recalls the creators Nutshell Library in its gentle-hued simplicity. The action runs full circle from mirth to mayhem and back, and droll, controlled sketches order the chaos, highlighting each new development, beat by beat, en route to a satisfying 'all done.'"
