While Ida is busy playing her wonder horn faceless goblins come in through the bedroom window and kidnap her baby sister.

If Ida is to save her, she must follow the goblins into outside over there and use her wonder music to defeat them.

So she puts on her mother's yellow rain cloak and sets off on a mystical journey, to rescue her sister and save her from having to become a nasty goblin's bride.

But once she finds the goblin's hiding place she has to employ a very special, clever trick before she can carry her sister home to safety.

About the Author and Illustrator

Maurice Sendak was born in Brooklyn, New York. He began by illustrating other authors' books for children, but the first book that he both wrote and illustrated was Kenny's Window, published in 1956. Since then he has illustrated over 80 books, and has won many awards, including the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. In 1970 he was the first American to win the Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator's Medal. In 1978 the University of Boston made him Doctor of Humane Letters and in 1983 he won the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for a 'substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children over a period of years'. He lived with his partner Eugene Glynn for 50 years in New York until Glynn's death in 2007. Maurice Sendak died in 2012 at the age of 83.

Industry Reviews

"Odd, beautiful and quite haunting, the story also has a warm ending with a well-hidden moralistic message." - Kids' Book Review

"There's much to see, much to feel, much to follow, and all of it beautifully integrated." - Kirkus Reviews

"Outside Over There - a book for all ages - is living testimony of the artist’s view of the picture book as “a beautiful, poetic form.” The story is haunting and evocative; the artwork mature and masterly." - The Horn Book
