Describes various situations in which it is appropriate to say, "May I?" Pierre's constantly repeated phrase of "I don't care" invites the listener to join in the chant-and perhaps to laugh at his own occasional negativism. The illustrations are typically Sendak, with detailed absurdities. From the Nutshell Library box.
