Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life

nHigglety pigglety pop!n nThe dog has eaten the mop!n nThe pig's in a hurryn nThe cat's in a flurryn nHigglety pigglety pop!n nFrom these lines of a Mother Goose nursery rhyme, Maurice Sendak has elaborated a modern fairy tale of multiple themes. Its comic surface is the tale of Jennie the Sealyham terrier, who packs her black leather bag with the gold buckles and goes out into the world to look for something more than everything. The World Mother Goose Theater is preparing a new production, and they are looking for a leading lady--but experience is needed.n nThe masterful pen and ink drawings transform Jennie's story in a manner that is typically Sendakian. Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or There Must Be More to Life can be compared, in its complexity, humor, and depth of feeling, only with Sendak's own Where the Wild Things Are. n nHarperCollins is proud to present this new edition of Higglety Pigglety Pop! that has been printed in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation to ensure that Maurice Sendak's original pen and ink artwork has been reproduced to the highest standards.n n n nPRAISE FOR HIGGLETY PIGGLETY POP!n n- An ALA Notable Children's Books of 1967n n- A 1968 Fanfare Honor List Selectionn n- A School Library Journal Best Book of 1967n n- A Library of Congress Best Children's Book of 1967 n
