Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Oh, that naughty boy! No matter what his parents say, Pierre just doesn't care.
"What would you like to eat?"
"I don't care!"
"Some lovely cream of wheat?"
"I don't care!"
Don't sit backwards on your chair."
"I don't care!"
"Or pour syrup on your hair."
"I don't care!"
Even when a hungry lion comes to pay a call, Pierre won't snap out of his ennui. Every child has one of these days sometimes. Mix in a stubborn nature, a touch of apathy and a haughty pout and it can turn noxious. Parents may cajole, scold, bribe, threaten--all to no avail. When this mood strikes, the Pierres of the world will not budge, even for the carnivorous king of beasts.

Created by one of the best-loved author-illustrators of children's books, Maurice Sendak's 1962 cautionary tale is hardly a pedantic diatribe against children who misbehave. Still, by the end of this lilting, witty story, most children will take the moral--care!--to heart. Pierre's downward-turned eyebrows, his parents' pleading faces, and the lion's almost sympathetic demeanour as he explains that he will soon eat Pierre, make the package perfect. (Ages 4 to 8) . --Emilie Coulter, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

Pierre's 'I don't care!' intrigues a hungry lion. 'A story with a moral air about Pierre, who learned to care.'

When my daughter was young she fell in love with "Pierre". Night after night "Pierre" was her favorite bed time story. This Christmas I asked what book to get her son. Fondly she said, "I don't care".

This was such a memorable book for my 2 younger sisters and myself! We would sing along with the little record that came with the book. We loved it and still search for the book WITH the recording. How do we find it?

Excellent! A classic cautionary tale of caring that is funny, witty, imaginative, instructive. My daughter delighted in my reading her this story for years, along with the Nutshell Library it was in: Chicken Soup with Rice, One Was Johnny, and Alligators all Around. This set is part of my standard starter kit I give to new-parent friends regularly. I love it!
