Pierre, a defiant child, refuses to care about anything. But when a menacing lion stalks into his world, Pierre's apathy vanishes as fear takes hold. Can this fearsome feline teach the obstinate boy the true value of empathy? Maurice Sendak's classic tale of a hardened heart softening in the face of peril packs an emotional punch.
