First Edition Thus. In 1948, with just 27 words, the inimitable Ruth Krauss created a charming little universe. In 2005, Maurice Sendak took her famous words and turned her bears into a troupe of players in a slapstick comedy starring Sendak's most famous character: that familiar boy in a wolf suit. A beautiful re-imagining of this famous little rhyme by this celebrated Caldecott Medalist.
