William Steig's Spinky Sulks is a 1988 New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of the Year and Outstanding Book of the Year.

Spinky is convinced that his family hates him and goes off to sulk in his hammock. His brother and sister try to make amends. His mom even brings him a beautiful tray of food. But nothing can get Spinky to stop sulking - not even a circus passing by on his street! Will Spinky ever cheer up?

Spinky Sulks is another delightful tale from the incomparable William Steig that will leave listeners of all ages smiling.

Honestly Meryl Streep narrating this book completely elevates it. Without her I fear it may just be a brief story about a child who is way over indulged as he sulks for like two or three days, while refusing to sleep in the house, speak to, or even acknowledge his family.

But Ms Streep infuses it with warmth and humor, she puts you inside Spinky’s heart and mind and you kind of fall for him. Can I please submit a long list of books I would like Ms Streep to narrate, because she is really really good at it!!

Meryl Streep is everything!

Meryl Streep is a wonderful narrator. Spinky is sulky and stubborn. But at the end he comes around and everyone is happy again. Another great one from William Steig.
