Maurice Sendak is dead
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/47335950/ns/today-books/
This is a pretty big loss for children's literature. Lame. . .

First the last remaining Berenstein and now the author of Where the Wild Things Are. 83 is a good long life though. You will be missed, Mr. Sendak

Man, that stinks. I enjoyed both his book and the movie. Goodbye, Mr. Sendak. You will be missed.

Really, really sucks.
Also, the documentary about him was released by Ocilloscope Laboratories. Adam "MCA" Yauch's film company |

Yeah, I heard about this. It's very sad as I enjoyed Where The Wild Things Are. I didn't like the movie adaptation so much though. I feel they messed up on it.

I LOVE the book Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball. The movie...well....it's OK....I guess. And just look at what happens to Dr. Seuss' work.

Sorry to hear about Sendak's passing.

EDIT: Oh, I guess the key word in your post is "feature length" adaptation. Yeah, I pretty much hate that live-action version with Jim Carey. But I am a big fan of the Horton Hears a Who film.

Very sad indeed. Did anyone catch his last interview with Stephen Colbert? it was a two parter and it was absolutely HILARIOUS! Great man, bummer to see him go.

Ironically, I read that his reputation as a "children's book author" came as a surprise to him. He said that he wrote "Where The Wild Things Are" and then he was given that label when it was published.
When you think about it, "Gulliver's Travels", if you actually read the whole book, is definitely not for children at all, the various cartoons featuring Gulliver and the Lilliputians notwithstanding, |
