Sometime between midnight and 2 A.M.<\/small> last night, I ordered a second copy of <\/span>Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span> The book, a collaboration between Charlotte Zolotow and Maurice Sendak, was published sixty years ago. Sendak won a Caldecott for his eerie, dioramic illustrations, which look like they were executed in oil pastel, or perhaps in thick-tipped colored pencil. They\u2019re sketchier and more impressionistic than the exacting Sendak lines I\u2019m familiar with from <\/span>Where the Wild Things Are <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Outside Over There<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>but just as unnerving. Mr. Rabbit is a proto\u2013Slender Man, lounging louchely around a little girl in a pink twinset who\u2019s just out to find a birthday present for her mother. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMr. Rabbit,\u201d said the little girl, \u201cI want help.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cHelp, little girl, I\u2019ll give you help if I can,\u201d said Mr. Rabbit.
\n<\/span>\u201cMr. Rabbit,\u201d said the little girl, \u201cit\u2019s about my mother.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cYour mother?\u201d said Mr. Rabbit.<\/span>
\n\u201cIt\u2019s her birthday,\u201d said the little girl.<\/span>
\n\u201cHappy birthday to her then,\u201d said Mr. Rabbit.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The book consists only of dialogue, all of which Zolotow imbues with this distinctly creepy cadence and rhythm. Mr. Rabbit helps the little girl figure out what her mother likes (\u201cred\u201d). When she realizes she can\u2019t give her mother \u201cred,\u201d he offers some alternatives: a fire engine, a red roof, underwear. (I think the book would still be unnerving without this humanoid rabbit suggesting red underwear as a suitable gift from child to parent, but it\u2019s one of the more deliciously sinister moments.) The little girl decides on apples, but determines that she needs more for her mother. Her mother likes other colors, too\u2014yellow and green and blue\u2014so Mr. Rabbit helps her to find suitable accompaniments to apples in all of those hues. For blue, he first suggests sapphires, even though the girl has already said she can\u2019t afford emeralds\u2014such a caddish, cruel companion for a child! Proposing absurd, impossible gifts: gems and the stars and taxicabs! In the end, an entire fruit basket comes together, and the little girl thanks Mr. Rabbit and bids him farewell; he returns the goodbye, adding, \u201cand a happy birthday and a happy basket of fruit to your mother.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

My three-year-old son loves this book. He loves it so much he doesn\u2019t mind that our current copy, a staple-bound paperback retired from the Minnesota library system, is missing several key pages (all of \u201cyellow\u201d and parts of \u201cgreen\u201d) so that it jumps abruptly from Bartlett pears to blue grapes. But I thrill to imagine his joy when I present him with this new copy, and my own, when I take the old paperback, slice out the pages, and hang them on the wall. I wonder: How many more times will my son sit in my lap or stand against the pillows on the bed, leaning over my shoulder, as we\u2019re held in thrall by this incantatory rabbit, reading this lovely present?<\/span><\/p>\n

Beneath its gentle exterior, I find Margaret Wise Brown\u2019s <\/span>The Runaway Bunny<\/span><\/i><\/a> to be very moving\u2014intense, even, in the way that something scary can feel intense. It\u2019s a story of absolute devotion: wherever the child bunny goes, however he transforms, the mother bunny will be there to catch him. The metaphors are infinite, like something out of Ovid: if the child becomes a fish in the river, the mother will become the fisherman. If he becomes a sailboat in the sea, she will become the wind and blow him to safety. Analogy can never be exhausted, just like the parental bond\u2014gardener for the crocus, tree for the wandering bird. Isn\u2019t there something terrifying about the inescapable? Being older now, <\/span>I realize the book contains a fairy tale for parents, too: that no matter where children go and what they do, their parents can always catch them.<\/span> At the end of this series of imagined changes, the son admits that he might as well stay where he is. There\u2019s something perfect about returning to ordinary love\u2014nourishment and care\u2014after the long journey. A gift and an order: \u201cHave a carrot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenny\u2019s Window<\/span><\/i> is the Maurice Sendak book my father, a software engineer by both day and night, liked to read to me. I barely remember the story, which I believe was framed by a boy\u2019s dream; only the structure, which was a series of enigmatic riddles posed by a rooster. Accustomed to richly illustrated narratives about princesses, I found what I now know to call the book\u2019s \u201cabstractness\u201d both seductive and unsettling. Some years later, in an effort to remedy my mathematical disabilities, my father brought me Hans Magnus Enzensberger\u2019s <\/span>The Number Devil<\/span><\/i><\/a>, a story also structured by a boy\u2019s dreams, which are visited by the equally interrogative mathematical demon of the book\u2019s title. Its promise to transport the reader \u201cfurther and further into mathematical theory, where ideas eventually take flight\u201d was far from soothing to me. I had nightmares often, then. An insomniac, my bedtimes are still plagued by imaginative questions which, had I, perhaps, been better at math, might now prove a source of excitement rather than of anxiety. In the dark of night, in these most uncertain of times, however, I can sometimes put my mind at ease by remembering: I have a comp sci degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
