I'll Be You and You Be Me
Ruth Krauss, Maurice Sendak
Hardcover
(HarperCollins, March 15, 1982)
From the creators of A Hole Is to Dig comes a reissue of another classic, I'll Be You and You Be Me. Author Ruth Krauss and illustrator Maurice Sendak, with a little help from some young friends, capture all the ups and downs of friendship. A charmingly meandering series of stories, poems, and pen-and-ink line drawings feels like a scrapbook of kid-speak: --He runs --I run --He jumps --I jump --He dunks his toast and I dunk mine Short-short plays, mysteries, and fairy tales are sprinkled with Sendak's (Where the Wild Things Are, etc.) tiny, sketchy images. Open to any page and dive right in! (Ages 3 to 6) From the team that brought us A Hole Is To Dig, here's another romp through the wild and wonderful imagination of children.
