Ten Little Rabbits

This previously unpublished treasure from the late Sendak recalls the creator’s Nutshell Library in its gentle-hued simplicity.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)

An adorable counting book. It’s refreshing to find a book that just wants to make kids giggle and count. I suspect that henceforth at every baby shower, at least 10 copies of this hoppy book will magically appear.

Washington Post

Picture-book gold. You can practically hear the applause...not only from audience members who appreciate the performance but from the legions of Sendak fans who may not have encountered this charming little gem before. This never-before-published Sendak might be small, but it surely will be of interest to his many, many fans.

Booklist

A posthumously published tale of overly prolific bunnies from a master of the picture-book form. Visually similar to such Sendak crowd-pleasers as the Nutshell Library titles. Children will be drawn to the escalating tide of fuzzy bunnies and will share the protagonist’s sense of satisfaction at watching them go.
