May 21, Hilary rated it it was ok Recommends it for: Not children. Shelves: children-without-adults , male-author-or-illustrator , fairy-tales-and-folk-tales. This is such a scary book, it could be seen as a fairytale perhaps for adults to read and the illustrations are so skillfully drawn. But as a children's book it's just too disturbing. I can remember picking this up in the children's picture book area of the library, I must have been under 5 yrs and I found it really scary. I'm so glad I couldn't This is such a scary book, it could be seen as a fairytale perhaps for adults to read and the illustrations are so skillfully drawn. I'm so glad I couldn't read because I would have found out that this little girl baby is being stolen for a bride for the goblins and not getting married when she grows up which would be bad enough but getting married as a baby. The text also mentions the honeymoon which I think is really disturbing considering we are talking about a baby. Not a book for children. Outside Over There must refer to where children ask their parents to put this book after having it for a bedtime story. Read on openlibrary. View all 29 comments. Apr 01, Manybooks rated it did not like it Shelves: fairy-tales-fantasy , folklore-kunstmarchen , childrens-literature , picture-books , book-reviews. And while I at first did think that I would be granting a high two star rating to Outside Over There , sorry, but in particular the featured narrative, the way that young Ida is textually described and presented by the author just does so much and personally chafe and ache that I can and will only consider one star but please also do note that I have absolutely no issue with Outside Over There being in print, that while I personally have not at all enjoyed the book, I also do not think that Outside Over There is inappropriate and needs to be censored or restricted. Now I do recognise that my ultra-negative reaction is more than likely entirely personal and emotional, but be that as it may, I stand by the fact that Outside Over There really and majorly bothers me deep down inside and that frankly, I am also glad not to have encountered Outside Over There as a young child. Now as to the accompanying illustrations for Outside Over There , while I do admit that they are adept and evocatively rendered, personally, and although I usually and generally love love love Maurice Sendak's artwork, I have not really found the pictorial images of especially Ida all that aesthetically pleasing her feet look huge, and her face, well, it makes her appear like a haggard old woman, not a young girl, and in fact, strangely, the depressed mother actually has a much more youthful countenance than Ida. And while I certainly have no issues with the fact that the goblin babies are depicted as being naked, I do find it a trifle unsettling how in one's proverbial face and at such close visual range this is always being depicted. I mean Outside Over There really has nothing even remotely to do with nakedness, with nudity per se, but yet, there are at least six large illustrative spreads of cavorting naked goblin babies and very close to the edge of the page at that and as such much more visually and even physically closer for that matter than little Mickey in In the Night Kitchen and with him, there actually is a bona fide reason for him being in the buff, as he is dreaming and in his dream, he is naked, but in Outside Over There , the illustrated nakedness of the goblin babies, while it definitely has not really bothered me all that much as nudity is something entirely natural, definitely does feel gratuitous and unnecessary.

I really like this book. It was the inspiration for the movie 'the Labyrinth'. This is a book of art. Each page is so beautiful. It is stunning. The problem with the stunning art is the story. It is a scary story. My niece is still scared to go to sleep by herself. I can't let her read this story of people climbing in a window and stealing away a child. She is rescued, but this would be too much for her. I know the child is unharmed and the girl saves the day and all, but it was disturbing for I really like this book. I know the child is unharmed and the girl saves the day and all, but it was disturbing for me in ways. This is a horror story for children. But the art is out of this world beautiful and safe. It's a mix of horror and beauty. So strange. I actually liked the story knowing the kidnappers were goblins, but I won't read this to the kids. It is intense. Maybe I'm overprotective, but I don't want the parents-my brother- to kill me once their children will no longer sleep alone. I wouldn't be allowed to read more books to them. Wow, such a powerful story. View 2 comments. Shelves: caldecott , banned-books , most-loved-by-me , favorite-kids-books , young-children-s-books. It is absolutely beautiful. Recently I gave them each their own copy for their Hope less Chests, so that they can read it to their own children. My children are all in therapy and take strong psychiatric medicines due to their fear of being exchanged by goblins for an ice changling and being carried away. I am positive that the reading of this book in their formative years had nothing whatsoever to do with that, however. By the way, I am drugged and in therapy too. Keeps the drooling at bay. Oct 09, Marie rated it it was amazing Shelves: children-s , goblins , changeling. I was not, however, acquainted with this book until this summer. Aside from winning numerous awards and inspiring LaValles The Changeling , this is the book that inspired the movie Labrynth. This book is dark, mysterious, magical. The father is away at sea. The mother is depressed, aloof.. Ida, the older sister, is the one who must watch over her baby sister, but turns away while playing her horn, neglectful. With her back turned, faceless goblins enter through the window stealing away the baby and leaving an ice version of a baby in its place. Ida scoops up the changeling that the goblins left behind which then melts in her arms. Ida is eventually successful in recovering her sister by putting the goblins into a dancing frenzy with her tune. Was she jealous of the baby and that is why she wished her away? The artwork in this book is not of the cartoonish quality found in In the Night Kitchen. The art is reminiscent of 19th century German paintings. Do all the characters of the dream reflect the thoughts and feelings of the dreamer? I read this to my daughter who had just turned 5. She was mesmerized and when we finished she turned back to the page where the goblins are stealing the baby and asked me to read it again. I highly recommend this book for everyone! Maurice Sendak has also said he does not write for children, but simply writes. He has escaped this notion that we need to protect our children from the experience of loss and strangeness in life.

Much as I hate interpretations of artists based on their books, I've got to say - Sendak has got some serious problems with women.

They fall in and out of their clothes and wander about with arrogant nakedness, they create violent, mythical worlds, they abandon their parents and are forgiven and return to dinner waiting for them, still hot.

  • They Know Everything Children and Suffering
    They Know Everything Children and Suffering Maurice Sendak Herbert Schreier Herbert Schreier We have learned a lot in the thirty years since we began seriously studying the long- term effects of trauma. Without going into too much detail, there are many kinds of trauma. There are traumas that occur at the hands of human beings, and traumas caused by natural disasters. There are kids traumatized individually, in groups, and there are whole populations traumatized. There are also kids who are traumatized repeatedly in family situations. People can be traumatized by situations. Witnesses to trauma, for example, can be traumatized. We also know that kids have an extraordinary memory for trauma and that memory can precede language. There are two really painful cases in the literature of children who were known to have experienced trauma prior to the development of language. One was an eight- month-old baby who was in a pornography ring. When she was being observed in play therapy, she kept stabbing a baby doll with a pencil in the belly button. Eight months into therapy it just happened that they discovered the cache of photographs, and there was this child with an erect penis in her belly button. If you don’t do trauma work, these stories may upset you, but just telling them can give you a sense of what it is to be traumatized. There’s a case of a child who watched her mother being blown up by a letter bomb when she was one year old, again preverbal. At age four, she was not getting on well with her adoptive family.

  • THE ROLES of the VISUAL in PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND the CONVENTIONS of CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillme
    THE ROLES OF THE VISUAL IN PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND THE CONVENTIONS OF CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Dominic Catalano, BS, MA, MFA ****** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Sydney Walker, Advisor ___________________________________ Professor Ken Marantz Advisor Professor Janet Hickman Art Education Graduate Program Copyright by Dominic Catalano 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation is to examine the meaning making potential of the visual properties of the literary and artistic genre known as the picturebook. In addition, the means in which we come to understand the visual in picturebooks is challenged, particularly in regards to written text and in context within the conventions of the larger picturebook community. Through primarily a poststructural semiotic analysis of three major post-1960s picturebook works (plus an addtional work produced by this author), this study demonstrates the deeper potentials of meaning in the visual elements of illustration and design qualties beyond current discourse. Lastly, this deeper potential meaning is qualified as to its impact on the picturebook field itself, as to the making, interpretation, and criticism of picturebooks, and to the utilization in education, especially the practise of visual art education. ii Dedicated to my wife, Oksana, my calm port in life’s stormy sea iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Sydney Walker, for her encouragement and support throughout the writing of this study, and Drs. Kenneth Marantz and Janet Hickman for their expertise in the field.

  • From Limbo to Childhood
    INTRODUCTION FROM LIMBO TO CHILDHOOD “I don’t like all kids,” the late Maurice Sendak (1928–2012) once infamously declared. “Some of them are as awful as their parents.”1 Very young people, he believed, are not categorically alike. Sendak rejected the Enlightenment-based notion that children are “blank slates,” shape- able matter born to serve an enfranchised status quo by playing the socially desired role—in the case of modern childhood, that role was usually “the innocent.” Ideals of childhood innocence, he felt, reflected adults’ demands that children not know or feel, but instead primarily behave, submitting to dictation from an exclusionary society. Children, the artist asserted, were tragically socialized out of the fierce honesty and emotional transparency with which they are born and which few adults manage to maintain.2 He believed in children’s inherent capacity to differ from each other, to question, to know, to preserve endangered parts of the self, and to resist sanctioned injustices. In the artist’s own words, his work explores “how a child deals with revolutionary, tumul- tuous feelings that have no place in a given setting, like the classroom or his mother’s apartment.”3 Situated in broader cultural and historical contexts, the present study shines new light on Sendak’s own displaced Copyright © 2020.

  • Maurice Sendak & Other Books for Adults
    Pryor-Johnson Rare Books Brook ly n Antiquarian Book Fair 7–8 September 2019 Maurice Sendak & Other Books for Adults In 2012, Maurice Sendak became internet-famous. He was, of course, already in-real-life-famous; from the publication of Where the Wild Things Are in 1963, he was known as one of the great au- thor-illustrators, in the tradition of Edward Lear and setting the stage for Eric Carle. Yet it wasn’t until an interview with Stephen Colbert, the alter ego of Stephen Colbert on The Colbert Report (cole- BARE ruh-PORE) that adults who had perhaps forgotten the great man remembered him again. Colbert, needling Sendak in his Connecticut home, asks him: “Why write for children?” Sendak volleys back: I don’t write for children. [You don’t?] No. I write. And somebody says: “that’s for children!” With these words, Sendak sets to rights a silly niggling distinction in books “for children” and those that are not. The hand-wringing breeds terms such as “graphic novel” to make illustrated books “acceptable” for adults to read. Sendak asks us — always in his quiet way subverting — why the fuss? With this catalogue we celebrate Sendak’s work and the perfect good sense he made so much of the time. The first half spans nearly the entirety of his career, from A Hole Is To Dig (with Ruth Krauss, 1952) through to his first and only pop-up bookMommy? in 2006. Along the way we have an exceptionally rare page-proof of Where the Wild Things Are, a large dossier of publication and adver- tising materials for Outside Over There (which Sendak considered his finest work) and his two major retrospectives, edited by Selma Lanes (1980) and by Tony Kushner (2003).
