When Aninku and Pepicek go to town for milk to make their sick mother better, their attempts to earn money by singing are thwarted by a bullying hurdy-gurdy grinder, Brundibar.

Media Reviews
While the book's provenance is grim, the delectable pictures in this edition have a folksy charm, and the concluding refrain...a contemporary resonance...Sendak's appetisingly bright pencil crayon and rounded lines soften the harsh reality. * The Sunday Times - Book of the Week *
A truly remarkable book...A real work of Art. * Guardian Series *
