One of my earliest memories involves this book. My parents read it to me many times, every day. As I've grown and become a teacher, it's been one of my favorite books to read aloud to my classes. Since I've become a parent, I've been sure to share this story with both of my children.
Thank you, Mr. Sendak, for the love of language and books you have shared.
