Chicken Soup with Rice A Book of Months Maurice Sendak 9780064432535 Books

This was one of my favorite books as a child, my mother still makes random references to "going once, going twice, going chicken soup with rice." I was excited to realize I could order a copy off of amazon for my own kids. I chose the hard back for durability, my kids are young. When it arrived and I opened it I discovered it was by the same author as Where the Wild Things Are, which I had somehow never realized before. The illustrations are even better than I remember them.

BUT

This copy is small. The cover art is not well centered on the weird peach background. And when it arrived, instead of being instantly drawn in like they usually are with any new books, my kids were not very interested. If there is another addition or printing of this book, get that one.

Chicken Soup with Rice A Book of Months Maurice Sendak 9780064432535 Books Reviews

My 20 month old daughter loves the rhyming poems for each month, and can repeat the ending rhymes for many of the pages. I loved this as a child and love being able to share a durable board book version with her.
Purchased this item as a replacement for my book from when I was a child, as my daughter LOVES to read it over and over and over. This book was much smaller than the original, fits perfectly in my purse now. Great for taking it with you anywhere! Love this book!! Original version!
When she was very small, this was my daughter's favorite book! Very entertaining and imaginative, and the perfect way to learn the months of the year! Reading once, reading twice, reading chicken soup with rice!

So I got my dear daughter this book for nostalgia! AND I got one for my granddaughter! And one for me too...because it is very funny!
I bought three of these because I remembered loving them when I was little. I don't remember the books being this small, but it is as described, so it was no shock that it was tiny. The size is fine for little hands, but would be better if it were made into a boardbook. The print is not so small that it is difficult to read. I am not sure why other reviewers have complained about that. If I knew that the "lap edition" sold would come bigger than this, I would have gotten that instead. That is why I am giving it 4 stars, because it would be better if it was bigger, since the illustrations are so great. But I think from the reviews the lap edition is the same tiny size. If you are looking for something of a normal size, this isn't for you.
My children loved this book. We wore it literally to pieces. I recently ordered it for my grandchild. At one time, I had the whole thing memorized. Your child will know the months of the year by the time they are 3 if you buy them this book, because they will ask you to keep reading it. And it is a whole lot better than Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
This book was a great favorite with my children, and I just bought it for a grandson of ours. The cadence and rhythm of this book is outstanding- it's a pleasure to read again and again. Maurice Sendak at his best, right up there with Where the Wild Things Are. I love the illustrations, and to top it off, this is a nice hard board book so little ones can enjoy it without ruining it. Well done!
This used to be my favorite book when I was a little girl. Now that I have 3 young kids of my own, we ran across this book at the library recently and it brought back so many great memories for me! My kids loved singing through it with me so much that I knew we needed to order it once our library copy was due back. The only downside with this copy off is that it was surprisingly small, but size doesn't affect how infectious this book is for children! Buy it!
