In January it’s so nice
while slipping
on the sliding ice
to sip hot chicken soup
with rice.
![Page 4: CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE An adaptation of the Book of Months by MAURICE SENDAK](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da15503460f94a8c960/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Sipping once, sipping twice, sipping chicken
soup with rice.

In February it will be
my snowman’s anniversary
with cake for him and
soup for me!

March
![Page 9: CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE An adaptation of the Book of Months by MAURICE SENDAK](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da15503460f94a8c960/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In March the wind
blows down the door
and spills my soup
upon the floor.
It laps it up and roars
for more.

Blowing once
blowing twice
blowing chicken soup
with rice.

April
![Page 12: CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE An adaptation of the Book of Months by MAURICE SENDAK](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da15503460f94a8c960/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In April I will go away
to far off Spain or
old Bombay
and dream about hot soup all day.

In May I truly think it best
to be a robin
lightly dressed
concocting soup inside
my nest.
![Page 16: CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE An adaptation of the Book of Months by MAURICE SENDAK](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649da15503460f94a8c960/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mix it once

mix that chicken soup
with rice.

In June I saw a
charming group
of roses all begin to droop.
I pepped them up with chicken soup!

In July I’ll take a peep
into the cool and
fishy deep
where chicken soup is
selling cheep.

down the chicken
soupy Nile.
