I SAW ESAU, The Schoolchild's Pocket Book by Iona & Peter Opie, Illustrated by Maurice Sendak, Candlewick Press, 1992, First Edition, First Printing. This is a Collectible, Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket. That's what children chant when they are being teased; it's what their parents chanted, and their grandparents and great grandparents before them. Collected in this invaluable book are the wit and wisdom of generations of schoolchildren - more than one hundred and seventy rhymes ranging from insults and riddles to tongue twisters, jeers, and jump-rope rhymes. Like a collection of Mother Goose nursery rhymes of Grimm's Fairy Tales, I Saw Esau deserves a place among the classic texts of childhood!
