Pierre: A Cautionary Tale in Five Chapters and a Prologue
For over fifty years, children have cared about Pierre, the little boy who doesn't care about anything--until he meets a lion!
Now in a larger, 5 x 7 trim size, Pierre will continue to make children giggle while also being reminded in the funniest of ways that "I don't care!" can become a problem.
This beloved classic from Maurice Sendak has helped generations of children put aside "I don't care!" as an answer. This edition is perfect for lap sharing and as a baby shower gift.

I read Maurice Sendak's "Pierre" last night for the 529th time. It occurred to me that the Hungry Lion might represent adolescence/adulthood, which quite literally swallows the intransigent toddler whole.

i won’t be seeking out Hershel Parker’s “Kraken edition” of Melville’s PIERRE, but I enjoyed a quick glance at Maurice Sendak’s lascivious illustrations appearing therein https://t.co/p48xAl9BpH
