Maurice Sendak, the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of the iconic Where the Wild Things Are, created a warmly loved classic book of months, in verse, with Chicken Soup with Rice. This rhyming book cleverly uses a little boy’s love for soup to teach children the months of the year and features Sendak’s imaginative drawings and lyrical verses. Who says you can only slurp chicken soup with rice in cold January or freezing December? Chicken soup with rice is nice all year round!

For over fifty years, children have discovered that, whether it’s June or December, every month is perfect for Chicken Soup with Rice! Now in a larger, 5 x 7 trim size, Chicken Soup with Rice is a book that children and their grown-ups will want to return to month after month. This beloved classic from Maurice Sendak has helped introduce the months and seasons to generations of children. This edition is perfect for lap sharing and as a baby shower gift.
