Description:

While Papa is away at sea and Mama sits silently in the arbour, lost in her own thoughts, brave young Ida has been left to look after her baby sister. Yet the moment she turns her back, sly hooded goblins slip through the open window and spirit the baby away to be a goblin's bride, leaving a strange, cold changeling behind. Furious and frightened, Ida tumbles backwards out of her own window and into the magical, twilit world of Outside Over There, where she must use her own courage and the sweet sound of her wonder horn to rescue her sister and bring her safely home. Maurice Sendak's haunting, Caldecott-honoured masterpiece is the third in his trilogy with Where the Wild Things Are and In the Night Kitchen — a spellbinding, fairy-tale meditation on sibling love, jealousy, fear, and responsibility, painted in dreamlike, classically inspired illustrations.
