We are all in the dumps, with Jack and Guy : two nursery rhymes with pictures

Sendak, Maurice. (Author). Sendak, Maurice. Jack and Guy. (Added Author).

Summary: Joins together two traditional nursery rhymes with illustrations depicting the plight and eventual triumph of orphaned and homeless children. With a benevolent moon as their guardian, Jack and Guy make their way out of the dumps, rescue a poor little kid with a black eye, and bring him home to triumph. In this, as in all his greatest books, Sendak speaks for children everywhere. They will recognize that what matters to him also matters, intensely, to them.
