About this item

Meet Jennie, a spirited Sealyham terrier with big dreams and a black leather bag with gold buckles. Inspired by the classic Mother Goose nursery rhyme, Maurice Sendak crafts a whimsical modern fairy tale about a determined dog who ventures into the world seeking something more than everything.

With Sendak's masterful pen and ink illustrations, this imaginative story explores themes of ambition, adventure, and self-discovery. A delightfully complex tale that celebrates the courage it takes to chase your dreams, perfect for readers who love quirky characters and enchanting storytelling.
