Kenny's Window

Kenny's Window is the first children's picturebook that was written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak^[1]. Originally published by Harper and Brothers Inc., it tells the story of a young boy's quest for a garden that he sees in his dream^[2], which involves answering seven questions given to him by a four-legged rooster in that dream. His toys and stuffed animals help him along the way.
