Pierre: A Cautionary Tale in Five Chapters and a Prologue

Our rating: ****

Pierre is a boy who doesn’t care about anything. What will it take to make him care?

This is a charming story. I put it under the category of Younger Readers, but even though I read much more advanced books, I still love Pierre.

  1. Hey, isn’t Maurice Sendak the illustrater of most of Meindert DeJong’s books?


  2. Yes, I think so. He also wrote Where the Wild Things Are.


  3. Oh! Okay.
