  my boys are 2 & 5, so reading 'where the wild things are' is an almost daily occurrence at our house.

  i've always admired Sendak's work. along with Raymond Briggs, Quentin Blake, and Theodor Geisel - i've always felt that those guys had the imagination to match their talent. seems that's a rare accomplishment...

  here's a drawing i did years ago- obviously heavily influenced by Sendak...

  I had decided he was on my list of people I wanted top try to meet too :( I loved his personality / outlook.

  Author and illustrator Maurice Sendak contemplates the complexity of children and the simplicity of Newt Gingrich.

  Maurice Sendak considers the state of children's literature and gets high on markers.

  There has never been a book like wild things, I remember seeing it as a kid in the library and being drawn to it, it was so different, a little scary but mostly full of wonder. I loved the intricate detail of every page.

  And now my kids are in love with it too. Amazing that it was published in the early 60's

  My Prediction: as of May 08, 2012

  One of the tweebsters/moderators will post something about Maurice Sendak and or his work in the "Editors Choice" section within a week or so...

  Today Terry Gross from Fresh Air on NPR replayed a series of wonderful interviews she did with Maurice Sendak over the last 20 years.
