When I was a child this was on my list of most favorite titles.
I can see how some people such as those who have never traveled out of the US would see this as containing inapropriate material.
So Mikey is naked in this book...Big Deal!!! It is the way we were created.
This book is clean and aprpriate for children of all ages.
This is one of my all time favorite children's books - I love the words, the illustrations, everything about it! My girls (5/8/10) have all enjoyed it since they were teeny! You can't go wrong with Sendak!
