Maurice Sendak, 1928 – 2012
While Sendak is best known for Where the Wild Things Are
For the record, Colbert’s I am a Pole (and So Can You!) has now actually been published! Sendak will be missed, but never forgotten.

My daughter and I spent hours reading his book, imagining our own monsters and befriending them.
Thanks Maurice and Happy Trails!
I never heard of Maurice Sendak until he died yesterday. I happened to turn on NPR’s “Fresh Air” and found out what a miserable, wonderful and happy man he was.
He loved talking to Terry Gross more than anybody else. Who wouldn’t?
He reveals that he got tired of doing book signings for children, because he sensed they thought he wanted to take their books away. I laughed out loud at hearing him say that one kid told him not to “crap up” his book.
listen to the interviews.
