FANS OF MAURICE SENDAK'S CALDECOTT MEDAL-WINNING WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE WILL LOVE THE BIG GREEN BOOK-NOW BACK IN PRINT!

A little boy named Jack discovers a big green book of magic in the attic and learns all sorts of spells-spells to change the look of things, spells to make him old and gray or disappear entirely! Jack makes the most of his new magic powers, and his poor old aunt and uncle are quite bewildered.

This enchanting tale by noted British author Robert Graves is masterfully illustrated by Maurice Sendak, seven-time Caldecott Honor recipient, National Book Award winner, and the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of Where the Wild Things Are.

Industry Reviews

"In 1962, just a year before Where the Wild Things Are, Sendak illustrated this glorious story of a boy who uses magic to trick his dull, 'not very nice' old uncle and aunt into seeing things his way. Written by the poet Robert Graves, its prose rolls ahead delightfully, while Sendak's intricate pen-and-ink art seems to be working out the combination of enchantment and mischief he'd soon make his name on." -- New York Times
