Baby & Toddler – Fiction This charming book about a cat and a mouse features cut-outs that help teach young readers about prepositions in a fresh, innovative way.
Cat & Mouse Britta Teckentrup The perfect place for a mouse is inside a cosy, warm house, but a cat lives there too and once the cat sees the mouse a chase ensues.

At the end of this colourful chase, the cat and mouse curl up together and nap until they’re ready to start the whole thing again. Britta Teckentrup’s eye-catching, simple illustrations are cleverly enhanced with cut-outs that help reinforce the words, providing a unique and fun interactive experience that teaches young readers about basic prepositions. BRITTA TECKENTRUP has published dozens of highly acclaimed illustrated works for children, including Oskar loves..., Oskar and Mo, Oskar can..., The Egg and Birds and Their Feathers (all by Prestel).

nly a handful of operas enjoy the reputation for visual innovation and churning dramaturgy of The Magic Flute. It is prized by designers as one of the great challenges and opportunities of the art form. In opera, as in the classical theater, we return again and again to major works of a commonly held canon. Each return provides an opportunity for a refreshed sense of the work’s cultural agency, an occasion for rediscovery, to speak to a new audience, and to celebrate or question the values of a creative vision from a very different time and place. The art form of scenography—the design of sets, costumes, and lighting—has become central to this process. It is through scenography that the intentions and concerns of each production are made visually manifest. Therefore it is inevitably through scenography that the director and designer most vividly imprint their reading of the work. From its first performance in 1791, The Magic Flute has been, for its designers, an opportunity to produce a signature work as well as to celebrate the opera’s visual challenges with their particular aesthetic and creative insight (Fig. 1). Following its premiere, scenographers in the eighteenth and nineteeth centuries, including Joseph Quaglio (1793), Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1815; Fig. 2), and Simon Quaglio (1818), designed The Magic Flute in accordance with the fashion for topographical and archaeological verisimilitude, which resulted in increasingly monumental temples, palaces, and landscapes. But this period of relative visual stability was disrupted in the twentieth century with the advent of early scenographic modernism. Designs by František Kysela (1932; Fig. 3), for example, demonstrate a preoccupation with unfamiliar symbolic, abstracted space.1 This unbuckling of scenography from its role in establishing location representationally was formalized by Adolph Appia in his designs for Wagnerian opera and Edward Gordon Craig in his for Shakespeare. Through their writing and design work at the turn of the twentieth century, scenographic space became the poiesis of text and no longer the figurative representation of the place in which the text locates itself. As a result, it is now commonplace to accept scenography’s objective of formally, conceptually, and culturally resituating work in contexts that

and 3), he quickly moved away from his source, developing a richer and more complex universe for the Vixen to inhabit. In his designs for the opera, Sendak reconciled two potentially incompatible approaches to the material. On one hand, there is the humorous anthropomorphizing of forest creatures: vaudevillian grasshoppers and a fox who smokes a cigarette like an off-duty Disneyland character (see No. 101 and Steinberg Fig. 1, No. 115). On the other, there is the spiritual, even ecstatic, veneration of the natural world, expressed primarily through Sendak’s embrace of the visual language of Romanticism. Alongside his study of works by William Blake and Philipp Otto Runge, which palpably influenced his Magic Flute and the contemporaneous picture book Outside Over There, he would have seen Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein’s animal drawings (Figs. 4 and 5), Johann Christian Reinhart’s detailed views of trees and rocks, and Carl Wilhelm Kolbe’s obsessively worked etchings of oversized vegetation (Fig. 6).

Maurice Sendak is well-known for his acclaimed children’s books, but he was also an avid opera lover and designed a number of sets for opera and ballet productions, among them Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Janáček‘s The Cunning Little Vixen, Prokofiev’s The Love for Three Oranges, Tchaikovsky‘s The Nutcracker, and an opera by Oliver Knussen based on Where the Wild Things Are. Bringinging together over one hundred and twenty-five pieces from among the more than nine hundred in the Morgan Library & Museum’s collection, the book reveals the full breadth of Sendak’s visual work for opera and ballet and highlights his keen sense of humour, his love of art history and his ability to tell striking stories through his art.
