While you wait for Spike Jonze to tweak his Wild Things adaptation, pop this genius rereleased animated book in the player. Sendak's story is paired with an off-kilter jazz score by Peter Schickele, who delivers a perfectly pitched narration that�ll both scare and soothe her. (Do watch the bonus interview, in which Sendak I.D.'s the Wild Things voice-overs.) Sendak�s In the Night Kitchen is turned into a swing-era musical adventure, while four other of his short books get a Carole King song treatment.
