He Is Where The Wild Things Are

Maurice Sendak children's author and illustrator died yesterday.  He is probably most well known for his book Where The Wild Things Are, which has been a favorite of mine for many years.  The images this book evokes are amazing, and recognizable the world over. I love the story this book tells and the sheer imagination that it encourages.  Thanks Mr. Sendak for this great memory.

When was the first time you read this book?  What other books evoke those good memories.  How many awesome tattoos of this have you seen?!?
