Containing pocket-size versions of perennial favorites Alligators All Around , Chicken Soup with Rice , One Was Johnny , and Pierre , this pint-size library is perfect for small hands. Learn the alphabet with silly alligators, drink chicken soup with rice every month, count visitors with a boy named Johnny, and survive a scare with a boy who doesn’t care. Endless adventures await in these lyrical stories that children, and their grown-up readers, will love reading and sharing over and over again. A wonderful stocking stuffer or baby shower gift, Maurice Sendak's Nutshell Library will evoke powerful memories for many, and the rhymes and stories continue to speak to new generations of little ones. And if you prefer your Nutshell Library books on their own and not quite so tiny, each is also available in a board book edition. Review: Small but mighty, great purchase - Maurice Sendak must haves. The "nutshell library" is a classic. Books are hard cover, beautifully made, artwork is vibrant. The small cardboard case that holds them also well constructed. These books, from 1962, are fun, rythmic, and sing-songy. Easy for children to hold. A word of caution. Some modern parents find them too scary. Really, a lion that swallows a child because he didn't seen to care about anything or anyone. To me, it's fun and interesting. I get requests to read this one over and over. If there is any drawback, it is that they are manufactured in China. Review: Nostalgic for me. Worth having for any child (or adult). - My grandparents read these to me and it was cozy to get to hold these adorable books in my tiny hands while they read to me. I had to get a set for my grandchild to pass on that joy. But o find I take them out for my pen pleasure as well. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,349 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Children's Art Fiction #88 in Stories in Verse #363 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,130 Reviews | ## Images ![Nutshell Library - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91aJHIP+rKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small but mighty, great purchase *by A***T on October 5, 2025* Maurice Sendak must haves.

Worth having for any child (or adult). *by E***A on November 1, 2025* My grandparents read these to me and it was cozy to get to hold these adorable books in my tiny hands while they read to me. I had to get a set for my grandchild to pass on that joy. But o find I take them out for my pen pleasure as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Treasured Collection and a new family heirloom *by M***G on February 24, 2026* This set was much loved by my siblings and me when I was a child (f68) and my grandchildren loved it just as much. Bonus, on Youtube there’s a video of Carol King singing the Chicken Soup with Rice book to an animated cartoon. Warning though, if you play it more than twice, you will not be able to get it out of your head! My personal favorite is Pierre. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/5792011-nutshell-library](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/5792011-nutshell-library) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
