As long as we’re shamefully still in a moment of rampant, draconian book bans from the far right, I feel it’s a good time to remind those conservatives of Maurice Sendak: the beloved children’s author/illustrator and beacon of marriage values, having been with the same partner for 50 years. The fact that said partner was Eugene Glynn, a psychiatrist of the male variety… well they can read up on that detail for themselves.

As a counting book, fun. As a new Sendak book, by its mere existence, notable. A posthumously published tale of overly prolific bunnies from a master of the picture-book form. A young magician bows before readers and releases a rabbit from his hat. More and more rabbits appear. As the book counts from one rabbit to 10, the boy becomes increasingly frustrated with the sheer number of bunnies appearing from his headwear.

Sendak’s book has been a children's classic for more than 20 years, and this audio version only makes it better. Peter Schickele manages to portray all of Max's emotions--anger, sadness, joy, and loneliness--using varied pace, elongated words, clear enunciation, and the staccato pattern of young children's speech. And while at first he sounds too gruff, as soon as he softens his voice, his performance becomes the epitome of the lightening fast mood changes of childhood.
