If anyone has not seen the interview that he did on the Colbert Report a while back, they should check it out. Even if you have seen it, watch it again. Haha.

I think it says a lot that, as children, we all have these silly bedtime stories that we remember fondly or that moved us for one particular reason or another, but the way that Where the Wild Things Are is so unversally appreciated and loved means that there is something substantial about what he created. Thank you Mr. Sendak for the countless dreams and adventures.
