For over fifty years, children have discovered that, whether it's June or December, every month is perfect for Chicken Soup with Rice

Now in a larger, 5 x 7 trim size, Chicken Soup with Rice is a book that children and their grown-ups will want to return to month after month.

This beloved classic from Maurice Sendak has helped introduce the months and seasons to generations of children. This edition is perfect for lap sharing and as a baby shower gift.

Maurice Sendak's children's books have sold over 30 million copies and have been translated into more than 40 languages.
