What would you say about eyebrows? Miss Krauss and the many children who made suggestions, revisions, additions (and subtractions) to this book say, "Eyebrows are to go over eyes." A face? "A face is something to have on the front of your head." Also, "a face is to hold up when you want your turn." "A party is to say how-do-you-do and shake hands" and also "a party is to make little children happy." Of course, a brother is to help you, a package is to look inside, arms are to hug with, and a book is to look at.

By the author of the well-loved The Carrot Seed, The Happy Day, and The Bundle Book, this wonderful book is perfectly illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Children will take words and pictures to their hearts.
