Chicken Soup with Rice: A Book of Months

Written and Illustrated by Maurice Sendak

This rhyming book cleverly uses a little boy’s love for soup to teach children the months of the year and features Sendak’s imaginative drawings and lyrical verses. 

Who says you can only slurp chicken soup with rice in cold January or freezing December? Chicken soup with rice is nice all year round!
