Maurice Sendak (1928-2012)
Where the Wild Things Are
If he's in heaven or someplace else...
"now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
Great read for J- and me. And I do believe he never went to bed frightened. Brave lad!

ReplyDeleteRIP, Maurice Sendak. What a guy! Proves that a college education is not for everyone...he did very well without one.
ReplyDeleteYour quotes and photo are terrific memorials for Sendak!
Great tribute to a great man. His books will live on through many generations of kids to come!
ReplyDeletea great old barn, just the same.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tribute!
ReplyDeleteWorn and tattered in its old age but still useful. A few new boards and nails and it could last another 83 yrs.
ReplyDeleteBirdman -- So sad to lose such a wonderful artist and storyteller -- I read his books to my children. NPR radio has an interview they had with Sendak that you can listen to at this link:

ReplyDeleteWonderful author and artist...
ReplyDeleteGive this old barn a wide berth, Birdman. It is going to rumble pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteI went to a local toy store yesterday looking for some Wild Things dolls to use in a Sendak tribute. He lived in Connecticut for decades, so I figured I owed him a blog send-off. Couldn't find what I wanted.
