Author Maurice Sendak Dies

Children’s author and illustrator Maurice Sendak died yesterday. He was the author and illustrator of many books, including Where the Wild Things Are, Chicken Soup with Rice, and In the Night Kitchen.

Have you read any of his books?

Which one is your favorite?

Agreed spidergirl. The Where the Wild Things Are movie was pretty bad- I think it destroyed the “childish” element of the story. And yes, the Where the Wild Things Are was my favorite. Maurice Sendak will be remembered by all of his fans.
