    I'm sorry to say I haven't but I'll be on Amazon rightaway to get copies. He sounds like a guy who had that rare alility to keep the joy of childhood and imagination alive throughout his lifetime. RIP

    Truly a unique and wonderful story which will delight children (and adults) for generations to come. My parents read it to me, and I read it to my son. Rest in peace, Mr. Sendak.

    The 35 of you who haven't read it need to crawl out from under that rock and head to your nearest library or bookstore immediately, especially if you have children.
