(2) K-3 For his birthday, pig Bumble-Ardy, defying his sweet aunt Adeline, sends party invitations to nine grubby swine. They arrive in costume, ready to make mischief. Sendak deals with the psychological reality of anarchy unleashed while acknowledging that breaking the rules can be fun. The art draws much from Sendak's theatrical work and references many of his classic picture books.
