Bummer.
His appearances on Colbert were some of the funniest moments on that show

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...

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

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