Pierre: A sweet tale of just desserts

One of the four tiny books that make up Maurice Sendak's Nutshell Library, as well as the inspiration for Carol King's wonderful song of the same name from the television special, which is free to watch on YouTube. As with the rest of the Nutshell Library, I read this one to my son as a toddler; we both loved it, of course. Who wouldn't enjoy reading about an obstinate boy being devoured by a hungry lion, after all? 😁
