Review # 1 was written on 2009-08-22 00:00:00 Jerohn DEan this is the only thing my summer class was useful for: it tipped me off that this book existed. for future reference, if there are books that exist that were the source material for childhood favorite movies of mine, i need to be informed. in a timely manner. not twenty years later, that's just humiliating. greg gave me this one years ago, so he is off the hook: outside over there is terrifically creepy, and it may not have the purple spandex-clad david bowie that really makes labyrinth shine as a cinematic masterwork, but maybe sendak will make it up to me with where the wild things are. or maybe he will just make me cry, because every time i see that trailer, i leak. so embarrassing. come to my blog!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-21 00:00:00 Robert Nordensten This is such a scary book, it could be seen as a fairytale perhaps for adults to read and the illustrations are so skillfully drawn. But as a children's book it's just too disturbing. I can remember picking this up in the children's picture book area of the library, I must have been under 5 yrs and I found it really scary. The illustrations are so realistic apart from some large out of scale feet and it's clear even just by the pictures that a baby/toddler is being stolen. I'm so glad I couldn't read because I would have found out that this little girl baby is being stolen for a bride for the goblins and not getting married when she grows up which would be bad enough but getting married as a baby. The text also mentions the honeymoon which I think is really disturbing considering we are talking about a baby. Not a book for children. Outside Over There must refer to where children ask their parents to put this book after having it for a bedtime story. Read on openlibrary.
