About the Author, Maurice Sendak

Sometimes dark, sometimes gleefully silly, but always inventive, intelligent, and colorful, Maurice Sendak s imaginatively illustrated children s books never forget their audience. Although his classic Where the Wild Things Are was criticized upon its initial publication for being too frightening, children responded with enthusiasm to both its wonderfully zany artwork as well as to its honesty. Forty years later, they still do.
