Who didn’t read this book as a child? I know I did – repeatedly, and was somewhat amazed to discover it on my shelf last week and realize that I hadn’t yet read it to my son. At seven, he’s actually a bit old for it now, but it turns out his teacher at school has read it to the class, so he’d heard it before. And we definitely enjoyed it. The artwork is delightful, and it’s such a cute story. Especially since my little guy has rather a lot of Max in him, if the truth be told. 10/10

I believe it is being made into a movie
Every child's fourth Christmas should have The Nutshell Library in the stocking too! Whoopy once, whoopy twice, whoopy chicken soup with rice!
The other Maurice Sendak one he liked was 'In The Night Kitchen'. Again, probably below Connor right now, as it's below Jacob, but he still likes it :)
You've sparked a memory BTW - keep your eyes peeled - there'll be a post very soon (with pictures, as soon as I get them uploaded!) about it!
Wendy, I checked out www.allconsuming.com Very interesting! I'm not going to sign up, though. I don't need encouragement to spend more time online!
