Edited by Iona and Peter Opie, Illustrated by Maurice Sendak Holp Shuppan 1994, 2nd Printing From the site: This book contains poems sung by children all over the world. Popular for its color illustrations by Sendak. It consists of the original book and a separate volume with Japanese translations and commentary. It features innocent cruelty and a lot of nonsense wordplay. I bought it because the illustrations are cute, but I never read it, so I'm putting it up for sale. With outer cover. The inside is clean. There is some sun damage on the top edge. Please understand that this item has been stored at home before purchasing.
