The author of Where the Wild Things Are'

that book helped shape my future.

As a child I loved it so much, i absolutely loved the artwork, and still to this day cannot put into words why... but it inspired me to draw and paint and imagine other worlds

There are only a few other childrens books I could truly say that about

RIP

Fabulous as you say and timeless too, my grandchildren still love it.

[Mamyalynne]

The film was a big hit too.

[DTCwordfan]

So why did you, Zhu.............

[DTCwordfan]

because you got the wrong end of the stick....

My comment was that he was good.

What was your take?

It seems only fitting that a wild rumpus has begun.

I'm hearing a kind of ratcheting sound.......

[DTCwordfan]

the feeling is indeed mutual - shame they had not expidited you to the Colonies much earlier.

I tell you what DT and Zhu, why don't you completely disrespect a respectful and nostalgic thread about a book that millions of children, including me, found to be utterly awesome. That sounds like fun right?
Please, show some respect.

I just added it (he) was good, Mojo, and then I get "shot down" by someone who has made his position very clear.......sorry if I got misunderstood.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Just bringing you back a little DT :)
