THE SIGN ON ROSIE'S DOOR
illustrated by Maurice Sendak
Rosie, a perfectly ordinary little girl, like all perfectly ordinary children, is filled with strange and wonderful fancies. When it gets too monotonous being just plain Rosie, she transforms herself into a variety of alluring creatures, all of whom bear the mark of the original Rosie in their whimsy and intensity. Maurice Sendak, both through text and illustrations, fuses the appealingly familiar with the magical in an I Can Read book of outstanding charm.
