A Hole Is to Dig

Overview
Commentary
In this first book of definitions, arms are to hug, ears are to wiggle, and a lap is so you don't get crumbs on the floor. Includes illustrations by Maurice Sendak. Named one the Best Illustrated Books of 1952 by the NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW.

Publisher's Notes
The author's merry text and Sendak's bouncing illustrations provide young readers with a host of "first" definitions that explain everything from faces to books. Illustrated.

What would you say about eye-brows? Miss Krauss and the many children who made suggestions, re-visions, additions (and subtractions) to this book say, "Eyebrows are to go over eyes." A face? "A face is something to have on the front of your head." Also, "a face is so you can make faces." Hands? Well, hands are to hold. And also "a hand is to hold up when you want your turn." "A party is to say how-do-you-do and shake hands" and also "a party is to make little children happy." Of course, a brother is to help you, a package is to look inside, arms are to hug with, and a book is to look at.

And children will take this book of words and pictures to their hearts.
