"A gorgeous collector’s book for fans of Stephen King and/or Maurice Sendak. While technically a picture book, this book will be enjoyed more by adults. With illustrations that Sendak made for set and costume designs for an opera back in the 1990’s, the artwork sometimes feels like a placeholder and may not hold the attention of kids. But the combination of King and Sendak is an enormous treat for adult readers."
"I'm a huge fan of everything Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are, Little Bear, Chicken Soup with Rice, etc). And now combined with Stephen King's love for creepy storytelling, it made for such a fun picture book. Great gift for adults looking to give a kid their first Maurice Sendak picture book. A great addition to the collection!"
