The baby is bit The moon's in a fit And the houses are built Without walls Jack and Guy Went out in the Rye And they found a little boy With one black eye Come says Jack let's knock Him on the head No says Guy Let's buy him some bread You buy one loaf And I'll buy two And we'll bring him up As other folk do Two traditional rhymes from Mother Goose, ingeniously joined and interpreted by Maurice Sendak. Review: Stunning and beautiful - The content matter is so adult, but presented in such a child-friendly way. It's not as timeless as some of his other works, but the illustrations are on-point, as always. I think it introduces children to several important concepts at an early age, and Sendak had a talent for projects that really treated children like people instead of coddling them with nonsense. I appreciate this book more as an adult for the impact it had on me as a child. Review: Incredible book - Highly recommend this! ## Features - We Are All in the Dumps With Jack and Guy by Maurice Sendak - Maurice Sendak - Nursery Rhymes - Children's Books - Children's Books Illustrated by Maurice Sendak ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,240,020 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #333 in Children's Books on Homelessness & Poverty #591 in Children's Books on Orphans & Foster Homes #1,162 in Nursery Rhymes | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 45 Reviews | ## Images ![We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy: Two Nursery Rhymes with Pictures - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NTMjx2tUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning and beautiful *by A***L on January 19, 2019* The content matter is so adult, but presented in such a child-friendly way.
