    <![CDATA[Oh, that naughty boy! No matter what his parents say, Pierre just doesn't care.  <blockquote> &quot;What would you like to eat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Some lovely cream of wheat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> Don't sit backwards on your chair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Or pour syrup on your hair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> </blockquote><p>  Even when a hungry lion comes to pay a call, Pierre won't snap out of his ennui. Every child has one of these days sometimes. Mix in a stubborn nature, a touch of apathy, and a haughty pout, and it can turn noxious. Parents may cajole, scold, bribe, threaten--all to no avail. When this mood strikes, the Pierres of the world will not budge, even for the carnivorous king of beasts. Created by one of the best-loved author-illustrators of children's books, Maurice Sendak, this 1962 cautionary tale is hardly a pedantic diatribe against children who misbehave. Still, by the end of the lilting, witty story, most children will take the moral (Care!) to heart. Pierre's downward-turned eyebrows, his parents' pleading faces, and the lion's almost sympathetic demeanor as he explains that he will soon eat Pierre, make the package perfect. (Ages 4 to 8) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Pierre is a brat. And it's annoying to have to read &quot;I Don't Care&quot; written over and over. But at least the title of the book warns you right off that the story is all about having a moral. I guess the rhyming gets you through it, though it cannot compare with &quot;Chicken Soup with Rice.&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45662875">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Oh, that naughty boy! No matter what his parents say, Pierre just doesn't care.  <blockquote> &quot;What would you like to eat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Some lovely cream of wheat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> Don't sit backwards on your chair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Or pour syrup on your hair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> </blockquote><p>  Even when a hungry lion comes to pay a call, Pierre won't snap out of his ennui. Every child has one of these days sometimes. Mix in a stubborn nature, a touch of apathy, and a haughty pout, and it can turn noxious. Parents may cajole, scold, bribe, threaten--all to no avail. When this mood strikes, the Pierres of the world will not budge, even for the carnivorous king of beasts. Created by one of the best-loved author-illustrators of children's books, Maurice Sendak, this 1962 cautionary tale is hardly a pedantic diatribe against children who misbehave. Still, by the end of the lilting, witty story, most children will take the moral (Care!) to heart. Pierre's downward-turned eyebrows, his parents' pleading faces, and the lion's almost sympathetic demeanor as he explains that he will soon eat Pierre, make the package perfect. (Ages 4 to 8) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I remember enjoying reading this story to my students, and I also enjoyed the cassette tape (at the time) of the story put to song, sung by Carole King. Cute story about a little boy with an attitude who gets eaten by a lion. When he gets shaken back out of the lion, he has a whole new attitude! :)]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Oh, that naughty boy! No matter what his parents say, Pierre just doesn't care.  <blockquote> &quot;What would you like to eat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Some lovely cream of wheat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> Don't sit backwards on your chair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Or pour syrup on your hair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> </blockquote><p>  Even when a hungry lion comes to pay a call, Pierre won't snap out of his ennui. Every child has one of these days sometimes. Mix in a stubborn nature, a touch of apathy, and a haughty pout, and it can turn noxious. Parents may cajole, scold, bribe, threaten--all to no avail. When this mood strikes, the Pierres of the world will not budge, even for the carnivorous king of beasts. Created by one of the best-loved author-illustrators of children's books, Maurice Sendak, this 1962 cautionary tale is hardly a pedantic diatribe against children who misbehave. Still, by the end of the lilting, witty story, most children will take the moral (Care!) to heart. Pierre's downward-turned eyebrows, his parents' pleading faces, and the lion's almost sympathetic demeanor as he explains that he will soon eat Pierre, make the package perfect. (Ages 4 to 8) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Oh, that naughty boy! No matter what his parents say, Pierre just doesn't care.  <blockquote> &quot;What would you like to eat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Some lovely cream of wheat?&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> Don't sit backwards on your chair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> &quot;Or pour syrup on your hair.&quot;<br/> &quot;I don't care!&quot;<br/> </blockquote><p>  Even when a hungry lion comes to pay a call, Pierre won't snap out of his ennui. Every child has one of these days sometimes. Mix in a stubborn nature, a touch of apathy, and a haughty pout, and it can turn noxious. Parents may cajole, scold, bribe, threaten--all to no avail. When this mood strikes, the Pierres of the world will not budge, even for the carnivorous king of beasts. Created by one of the best-loved author-illustrators of children's books, Maurice Sendak, this 1962 cautionary tale is hardly a pedantic diatribe against children who misbehave. Still, by the end of the lilting, witty story, most children will take the moral (Care!) to heart. Pierre's downward-turned eyebrows, his parents' pleading faces, and the lion's almost sympathetic demeanor as he explains that he will soon eat Pierre, make the package perfect. (Ages 4 to 8) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>
