RIP Maurice. Boy...he was a character. I saw him on Stephen Colbert's show...and, ironically, just received Colbert's new book today and it has a comment by Maurice.

My husband's 1-year-old great-granddaughter celebrated her birthday Saturday. We went to Barns and Noble last Thursday and bought several books, but when I suggested "Where the Wild Things are" he balked. It was my two kids' all time favorite and I still have the hard cover of it. Guess I will gift that at 2nd or 3rd birthday. Sorry to see this death announcement today.
