Title: Strange and magical
Review: This is all time favorite for my daughter from about 2-5 and now my 3 yr old son. I can't even put my finger on exactly what both my young children adored about this book, but it certainly resonated with them on some deep level. Some reviewers found the dream-like (and frankly strange) story line to be "creepy" and "scary" as with other Sendak classics. This is an adult reaction of not fully understanding the book. I don't fully understand the book myself, but that's ok. Kids can totally accept not understanding the book and enjoy it on a totally different level of perception. (So much they don't understand anyway that that in and of itself was not scary in the least for my kids- they found it magical).My son wants to read "Mickey" as well as Outside Over There, frequently at bedtime. I find myself analyzing both books each time. What does it all mean? Does it mean anything? I get a kick out of trying to interpret what may be symbolism or just wacky imaginative-ness.
