A lovely keepsake celebrating books that remain key parts of childhood for people all around the world."—Foreword Reviews Did you know that the Very Hungry Caterpillar was originally just a fat worm named Willi?

Discover the childhood inspiration behind Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the original name of Curious George, the mysterious origin of Mother Goose, and what happened when Maurice Sendak told his editor he couldn’t draw wild horses (spoiler alert: he drew wild things instead). It’s a celebration of children’s literature, and you’re invited!
