Description:
When Aninku and Pepiček discover one morning that their mother is ill, they rush
to town for milk to make her better. Their attempt to to earn money by singing is
thwarted by a bullying, bellowing, hurdy-gurdy grinder, Brundibar, who tyrannises
the town square and chases all other street musicians away.
The book is based on a Czech opera by Hans Krása and Adolf Hoffmeister of the same name – 'Brundibár' is Czech slang for 'bumblebee'.

Sendak's trademark illustrations grace every page – including a cameo appearance by the baker from the Night Kitchen!
