Maurice Sendak

my mother was a fundamentalist (stress on the Mental part) when i was growing up and would not allow me to read it, because she believed it was 'satanic'.  i could only read this book in glances peeked over the shoulders of other children in the library…natch, i developed a fascination for all things Sendak as an adult and bought his books for my kids. though my kids are all teens now, i can still quote 'Where the Wild Things Are' and 'Outside Over There' entirely from memory…lol
