Bookroo's summary
A boy dons a wolf suit and steps into a whimsical world where bears become comedic performers. As chaos unfolds, will he find his place in this playful universe?
From the publisher
With just 27 words, the inimitable Ruth Krauss created a charming little universe.
Now Maurice Sendak has turned her bears into a troupe of players in a slapstick comedy starring a familiar boy in a wolf suit.
