Author/Illustrator: Maurice Sendak
Year: 1985
Age Level: 4-8
Plot Summary: Ida's father is away and she's in charge of watching her baby sister. Ida isn't so interested in babysitting her sister. When the baby is stolen out of their cottage by goblins, however, Ida feels bound to fetch her back again.
My Rating: A-. This is definitely a quirky story, and not one that I think every parent or child would like. The art is lovely though, and the story is a good one--just unusual. I think the baby-napping element would scare some kids.
