Amazon.com Review:
As a tribute to his dearly departed pooch, Maurice Sendak wrote this odd little tale in 1967 about Jennie, a Sealyham terrier who is not content with having everything but must go out in the world to find something she doesn't have. Right off the bat, she comes across a pig wearing sandwich boards advertising the need for a leading lady in the World Mother Goose Theatre. Jennie leaps at the opportunity. Unfortunately, the position requires someone with experience, so she sets off to find it. One hungry lion and a stubborn un-hungry baby later, Jennie definitely has experience, if nothing else anymore, and off she goes to play the leading role in a nursery-rhyme-turned-theatrical-production: Higglety-pigglety pop!
The dog has eaten the mop!
The pig's in a hurry
The cat's in a flurry
Higglety-pigglety pop!
This dreamy, slightly dark story, illustrated in Sendak's renowned pen-and-ink style, tells of a gluttonous dog's transformation from someone who cares only about her subsequent salami sandwich to one who would risk her life for a weaker being (while still wondering where that subsequent sandwich is coming from). Caldecott Medal artist Sendak is the brilliantly quirky creator of such classics as Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen. (Ages 5 to 9) --Emilie Coulter

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I read it when I was young, but I still enjoy it. It is on the longer side (though not too long), so for kids it's not necessarily a quick bedtime read but might be better read in a few sittings. It does have chapters, but they are short. Great story, great illustrations, and it's funny.

I bought this book because I loved it when I was little, but my 4 year old is not quite as capitvated as I remember being... She will probably like it more when she is a little older, though the moral is a good one...also a little bit longer book, so be prepared for some wiggling!

I purchased for my grandkids ages 4-6. They like chapter books now so they have something to look forward to. This book has a sort of sing-song rhyming theme they really seem to like. My only objection was I thought it should have more illustration. I love the dog !!!

This is my absolute all-time favorite book from childhood. When I got pregnant the very first book I bought for my little guy was this one. Every child must have one. It doesn't follow the usual guidelines for children's literature, which is usually boring and has some obvious moral theme. Higglety Pigglety Pop can be thought of as somewhat nonsensical and stimulating to the imagination. Your little one will love it! The characters are genius.

When I was showing dogs, I had the pleasure of spending time with a "coven" of Sealyhams - they were playful little witches, for sure. This book conveys the basic disposition of the breed and the deep love an owner can have for his Sealy. Highly recommended.
