The Big Green Book

The Big Green Book tells the story of a boy who finds a strange book in his uncle’s library. It turns out to be full of magic, letting him play tricks and even outsmart the adults around him.

Maurice Sendak’s drawings make the story feel even more playful. They are funny, detailed, and full of little touches that match the mischievous mood. It’s a light and clever book about that very familiar wish every child has — to get the better of grown-ups once in a while.
