"Counting from 1 to 10 and back again—that’s the concept in this never-before-published book from the renowned children’s book creator. With pure Sendak whimsy, this simple story will grab readers’ attention. Useful as a counting book for young children, this charmer also lends itself to home or classroom discussions of strategies for recognizing and dealing with obstacles and frustration. A newly discovered treasure from a beloved children’s book magician." —School Library Journal (starred review)
"This previously unpublished treasure from the late Sendak recalls the creator’s Nutshell Library in its gentle-hued simplicity. The action runs full circle from mirth to mayhem and back, and droll, controlled sketches order the chaos, highlighting each new development, beat by beat, en route to a satisfying 'all done." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The M emblazoned on his stage podium could just as well stand for Max or Mickey or Maurice, as another little boy with flair, talent, and determination. There’s also drama in the changing expressions on the boy’s face as a magic trick that begins in pride and insouciance starts to overwhelm him. A true Sendak hero, he sets himself to rights. Goes straight to the heart. " —Horn Book (starred review)

Maurice Sendak was a beloved author and illustrator known for his imaginative and whimsical works for children. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1928, Sendak developed a love for drawing and storytelling at a young age. He went on to study at the Art Students League of New York and began his career in children's literature as an illustrator for other authors. However, it wasn't until the publication of his own book, Where the Wild Things Are, in 1963 that Sendak skyrocketed to fame. He continued to produce beloved classics such as In the Night Kitchen and Outside Over There, and his unique and often dark illustrations earned him numerous awards and accolades. Sendak's legacy continues to live on through his timeless stories and illustrations that have captured the hearts of readers for generations.
