Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Pierre’s ‘I don’t care!’ intrigues a hungry lion. ‘A story with a moral air about Pierre, who learned to care.’
Amazon.com Review:
Oh, that naughty boy! No matter what his parents say, Pierre just doesn't care. 'What would you like to eat?'
'I don't care!'
'Some lovely cream of wheat?'
'I don't care!'
Don't sit backwards on your chair.'
'I don't care!'
'Or pour syrup on your hair.'
'I don't care!'
Even when a hungry lion comes to pay a call, Pierre won't snap out of his ennui. Every child has one of these days sometimes. Mix in a stubborn nature, a touch of apathy, and a haughty pout, and it can turn noxious. Parents may cajole, scold, bribe, threaten--all to no avail. When this mood strikes, the Pierres of the world will not budge, even for the carnivorous king of beasts. Created by one of the best-loved author-illustrators of children's books, Maurice Sendak, this 1962 cautionary tale is hardly a pedantic diatribe against children who misbehave. Still, by the end of the lilting, witty story, most children will take the moral (Care!) to heart. Pierre's downward-turned eyebrows, his parents' pleading faces, and the lion's almost sympathetic demeanor as he explains that he will soon eat Pierre, make the package perfect. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

I have loved this story since I was a child. I lost my copy long ago, and my husband recently bought a new edition as a gift. I love it all over again! Definitely a classic.

This is a FANTASTIC book for kids. They can help with reading the story (my 3 year old knows it off by heart) and it has a lovely message in it as well. I read this book as a child and it stayed with me - it must stay with a lot of people because the Dresden Dolls turned it into a song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG3q6MKzx78

I bought this book after having it read to me as a child. I wanted to read it to my son. I didn't expect for it too be so small. However I was just happy to get the book and be able to read it to him and get the morale across. I had difficulty finding it in bookstore, and was thrilled that it was carried by Amazon! I highly recommend it to other Parents :-)

How can you go wrong with Maurice Sendak? Every thing he has done is fantastic.

I have the casette tape of this story (a MUST, because the entire story is sung and it's so very wonderful) and every year I put on the casette and sing the story to my class. I have yet to find a group that does not enjoy this story and beg repeatedly for me to play it again. In the beginning, a few students will pick up on the refrain "I don't care" as well as the timing and by the time we've played it for a week or so, most of the students sing along, giggling all the way. The message is clear, you must find something to care about otherwise you're doomed to live inside a lion. And after much discussion, my students (kindergarten) get that fact.
