Yes, this new release is by Maurice Sendak! Bumble-Ardy is, in fact, the first book illustrated and written by him since 1981's Outside Over There. Its piglet main character and his story had distinguished beginnings: Bumble-Ardy originally appeared in a Sesame Street animated short created by Sendak and his friend Jim Henson. Its robust pictures and rowdy rhymes are vinta

Shelves: pigs, picture-books

Wow! I am shocked to see this book has so many low ratings. I agree that it is not up to par with Sendak's prior works but it is certainly not a 1 or 2 star book.

That being said, Bumble-Ardy is about a pig who throws an over-the-top birthday party to make-up for missed birthdays in the past. This party doesn't end well but Bumble-Ardy learns a lesson in unconditional love. A fun story, filled with rhythmic text and Sendak's round, warm illustrations that most have come to love.

Mommy's review from 11/23/11 -

I'm pleased that some reviewers are calling this what it is - because it's trash. I expected, because of who the author is, that there would be all four and five star ratings but this isn't the case. Perhaps some readers did enjoy this but my guess is that most rated it on the authors name or his past books.
This is a horrible nightmare. I've never been a huge Sendak fan. I read Where the Wild Things Are of course and my daughter owns it now. But it was never *that...more

What could be better than a new book by Maurice Sendak, especially coming years after the release of his previous most recent offering? Bumble-Ardy may be an eccentric story, but the illustrations are vintage Maurice Sendak, exotic and wild and unexpected in all the best ways. The full-page scenes from the title pig's birthday bash are eye-catching and memorable, some of Maurice Sendak's most intriguing work despite the slightly unsettling appearance of some of those invited to the party, and t...more

I waffled between 3 and 4 stars and I admit, I chose 4 because the book is by Sendak. At first I felt a little weird about it, but then I started to think about visual art and reactions at museums. Do we forget an artist's body of work when we see a new painting? Can we, or should we? Don't we bristle when we see an otherwise great looking painting that steals somebody else's style? The artist's name matters. What they've done to date matters. We can't ignore context, and to try to do so would f...more

As curled as a little piggy's tail, this tale of a wild rumpus (haven't we all craved that since Where the Wild Things introduced this idea?) has all the reality a child might need to be well-adjusted to the world, or perhaps worlds, of childhood. I grew up reading the Grimm canon of fairytales and found solace in the grim realities that so many of the heroines or heroes faced and endured in tale after tale.

For me, this was the story of a boy (pig) who organizes a birthday party without telling his aunt (guardian), and gets in a bit of trouble over it. She celebrates his birthday for the first time ever, but does not like the idea of a party. So, he throws a party for himself, but doesn't tell her. After she leaves, the house becomes filled with all kinds of crazy characters "drinking brine" - bizarre on several levels - and having a "fine" time. When the aunt gets back, she's upset, but they prono...more

The backstory, which is told in preface, is that Bumble-ardy's family "frowned on fun", which explains his lack of birthdays hitherto, and his parents were recently killed. Although his parents were butchered, the fact that humans would have been the ones to murder them isn't emphasized. And so, all readers of the book are immediately set up as the antagonists to this world.

The story begins with Bumble-ardy moving in with his aunt and his decision, against her wishes and knowledge, to throw himself a birthday party. A masquerade party. The party lasts most the book as the animals, dressed as humans, drink "brine", dance, and celebrate the life of Bumble-ardy--and, as such, life itself. But it's a strange dance to celebrate an equally strange life. Without surprise, as it is with any celebration of life comes life's comrade-in-the-wings: death.

When any talk of controversy or irritability about Bumble-ardy rears, it's typically in regards to the presence of death (although, a cursory glance at the GoodReads page for the book suggests that adult readers are equally irritable due to Bumble-ardy not being Where The Wild Things Are).

However, death is not a focus of the story, is never central to any page, stands in the background, and only becomes apparent on subsequent reads. Perhaps it is death's representation as natural and part of the scene that causes some readers to focus and dwell on it, and in dwelling, become concerned that their children are dwelling in the same ways. If readers view death as unnatural and something to be feared, heckled, ignored, repressed, and otherwise stricken from reality, then Bumble-ardy works as a counter to those notions. If, in countering these notions, Bumble-ardy upsets adult readers, then this is simply the effect of any counter-argument to an argument one holds to be true.

I wasn’t going to say anything, but School Library Journal has named this one of the best books of 2011, calling it vintage Sendak. This may be vintage Sendak to someone who orgasms at the sound of the man’s name, but for someone with his/her faculties still in place, this is a huge disappointment.

Bumble-Ardy tells the story of a pig who throws a birthday party for himself against his aunt’s wishes. A large group of pigs, in costume, show up to the party and drink brine. Simple enough.

Yay a new Sendak! I went to a bookstore today just so I could read this. I like the pictures much more than the story. It's interesting to compare the style of the art in this book with Sendak's earlier work. Bumble-Ardy is illustrated with a fluidity that contrasts with the precisely drawn leaves and fur in books like Where the Wild Things Are and Little Bear. The chaotic intertwining of subjects in the two-page spreads made me think of Guernica, with the mournfulness replaced by a gaudy celebr...more

There's been a lot of buzz about both him and this book in the library world of late, however, so when the chance came to read it, I made sure to do so.

Even for Sendak, who's made a career out of creating hallucinatory worlds, this is a weird, disjointed book. It's based, more or less, on a brief cartoon that Sendak and Jim Henson did for Sesame Street, but the changes that Sendak has made make the book less sensical and much darker. In the original, Bumble is a human boy, Adeline is his mother, and there's no mention of this being Bumble's first ever party. The kid invites some pigs over (for "wine," not "brine," which you couldn't really say in a kid's story now, but which makes a good deal more sense), they make a mess, and his mom kicks them out. It's still a middling cartoon at best, but it hangs together a lot better.

The epically disturbing prologue, in which it's revealed that Bumble (now a pig himself) has never had a birthday because his parents didn't like fun, and that his parents were subsequently turned into someone's breakfast, feels grafted on and incomplete. The party occupies a huge portion of the book, and is illustrated in a style that looks for all the world like Sendak had been momentarily possessed by the ghost of James Ensor. When aunt Adeline comes back, her enraged threat to turn the party guests into ham now carries decidedly more creepy undertones, especially when viewed in light of the prologue. And where the original short had a thematically unifying idea -- boy is impatient, decides to succumb to the desires of his id, is caught, apologizes, is forgiven -- I'm puzzled as to what exactly the reader is designed to come away from this odd story of a horribly damaged protagonist with.

In some way, it's obviously related to the 2007 death of Sendak's lifelong partner. But Higglety Pigglety Pop was also a book in which Sendak worked through grief -- in that case, the death of his dog -- and though it too had a surreal logic, and left the reader with as many questions as answered, the narrative had a power that Bumble-Ardy lacks.

This isn't at all a book for children, though it'll be shelved that way. That's okay -- I mean, Chris Van Allsburg isn't really a children's writer either, and it's perfectly possible to use the picture book format to write for grown-ups. But it's not a successful book for grown-ups either; it's obvious that the writer was in enormous pain, but the pain isn't channeled and focused into something that can be considered great art. It's a weirdly insular book, and whatever it meant to Sendak is lost before it can get to the reader.

It's getting a lot of good reviews, but I can't help but feel that Sendak's recent tragedies, as well as his status as a sort of elder statesman in American children's literature, are making people want to see the book as better than it is. I can't see it as anything other than a messy, confused footnote, one that's likely to be of more interest to Sendak's future biographers than readers interested in the book itself.(less)

I knew there was some hubbub regarding its release, but I purposely didn't read any of the reviews before checking Bumble-Ardy out from my local library. And yeah, it's kinda not for kids.

But neither was Where the Wild Things Are.

Spoiler Alert Slash Synopsis:

The title character is this pig who was horrifically mentally abused by his parents. They never celebrated his birthday in 8 years of being a family. He just accepted it. Then, he watches as his parents get sent to slaughter - apparently they were not smart to hold jobs and were never personified into walking on two legs. An orphan, he gets adopted by his wonderful Aunt Adeline - who is a single, independent gal who works hard and apparently plays hard, too. She brews her own "brine" and does not like sharing it.

On Bumble-Ardy's ninth birthday, Adeline deems they finally celebrate. But during the day she has to to work. Little does Adeline know that her precious nephew has been planning a major event for quite some time. Exactly nine minutes after Aunt Adeline takes off for work, Bumble-Ardy has a house-ful of piggly neighborhood acquaintances swing by. He is adamant that they show up 1) in costume and 2) freshly washed.

A twelve hour Eyes-Wide-Shut meets Animal Farm type orgy ensues, drinking tons of Aunt Adeline's moonshine/brine.

When Adeline comes home to see her house has been wrecked, she kicks all of Bumble-Ardy's pig friends out, threatening cannibalism.

She then tells Bumble-Ardy that she does not condone this behavior and he is sincerely scared and remorseful, offering to kill himself - "to never turn ten".

Adeline realizes that he's totally damaged goods, but you can't turn away from family. How would he know what level of decorum to gauge the party by? They embrace.

Which is somewhat acceptable until you realize that 9 pig years = like 36 human years and that Bumble-Ardy is a socially stunted semi-psychopath.

Like I said, not really for kids. Adults, though - almost as good as an episode of Law and Order. And if you're a Sendak fan, the art is great.(less)
