My daughter chose this book from the library when she was three or four years old. We like Maurice Sendak and own a couple of his books. I appreciated the illustrations, but it wasn’t one of his best stories. It was more entertaining than some of the books she’s chosen from the library though, and neither my daughter nor I found it offensive in any way.

With infrequent contact with kids, I sometimes think I can be off base so it’s good to hear what your daughters thought.

Not only did I read & review this for Banned Books Week, but I also read this to both of my little girls, and they loved it. Even the seven-year-old who is going through a time of extreme modesty right now had no issue with Mickey’s nudity. I think the book was cute & tastefully done.
