Very sad day. Today we lost Maurice Sendak - a true giant in children's book writing and illustration. R.I.P. Maurice.

  1. He was a pretty cool guy...for a non-cat.

  4. I agree. very hard to take. I had just gotten to know him a little better bit via the Colbert Report.

    Did you hear about the letter he sent to a little boy and the boy was so excited he ate it? His mom replied and told him, and he apparently thought that was the best :)

  5. I remember seeing the Opera Hansel and Gretel many years ago and Mr. Sendak had designed the sets...they were spectacular!!!
