Chicken Soup with Rice by Maurice Sendak

Maybe you have knowledge that, people have search hundreds times for their favorite. In between is an ornately framed oval of a little boy in blue short pants and jacket prancing as he enjoys a hot bowl of Chicken Soup with Rice. Thank you for reading Chicken Soup With Rice A Of Months Maurice Sendak. The cover is a pale yellow with a subtle green frame encasing a deeper yellow background with the author’s name in a deep, deep brown at the top, followed by the title, its subtitle, and the publisher’s name at the very bottom. This could be a fun discussion with the kids about the months of the year. I must confess I’d not get as excited as the children in the illustration about December’s offering! Sendak gets the animal kingdom involved from elephants to robins to turtles to crocodiles to whales as he travels to India, Egypt, the beach, and the backyard. January is ice, February is a celebration with his snowman, March is the blowy month while April finds an elephant sharing his soup, and more. The chapters are titled with the month and a seasonally changing blue, green-and-yellow and yellow background encased in an elaborate curlicue of a ribbon-like black-and-white border.Įach month is a cute rhyme that references the month and time of year and how nice it is to eat chicken soup with rice.

I can’t decide if they’re engraving-like images with watercolors or if Sendak used aquarelles. The illustrations are darling - y’all’ll get a kick out of Sendak’s choices for each month - with a common color theme of blues and yellow. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Bumble-ArdyĪ standalone story in the Nutshell Library series for children that has fun exploring seasonal expectations of each month of the year.
