Higglety pigglety pop! The dog has eaten the mop! The pig's in a hurry The cat's in a flurry Higglety pigglety pop! From these lines of a Mother Goose nursery rhyme, Maurice Sendak has elaborated a modern fairy tale of multiple themes. Its comic surface is the tale of Jennie the Sealyham terrier, who packs her black leather bag with the gold buckles and goes out into the world to look for something more than everything. The World Mother Goose Theater is preparing a new production, and they are looking for a leading lady--but experience is needed. The masterful pen and ink drawings transform Jennie's story in a manner that is typically Sendakian. Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or There Must Be More to Life can be compared, in its complexity, humor, and depth of feeling, only with Sendak's own Where the Wild Things Are. HarperCollins is proud to present this new edition of Higglety Pigglety Pop! that has been printed in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation to ensure that Maurice Sendak's original pen and ink artwork has been reproduced to the highest standards.

There was a sign on Rosie's door that said, "If you want to know a secret, knock three times." Kathy, Rosie's good friend, knocked three times and learned the secret-that Rosie was no longer Rosie, but Alinda, the lovely lady singer. Adventures with Alinda were fun for Kathy and Sal and Pudgy and Dolly. Even Lenny, who occasionally didn't believe in Alinda, was delighted by the Fourth of July celebration that Alinda, with the help of the Magic Man, held. At the end of the celebration, Alinda was gone forever, and Rosie had returned, but she soon found something else nice to be. Maurice Sendak, the well-known artist and author-illustrator of Kenny's Window and Very Far Away, has written a story of real children, playing as only children know how. Young readers will wish that Alinda lived next door to them.
