Tribute to Maurice Sendak

Ben and Hannah LOVE Where The Wild Things Are. This, of course, makes me happy because this classic is my all-time favorite. I loved reading it when I was young. I loved reading it aloud in the classroom. And now I love reading it to my children.

What makes me most proud is how much they know the story now. We have a poster of Max in their bedroom and they say "Max" and point to it every day. And now when I read, Ben especially fills in parts of the story for me. I love it! (You'll also hear me read the entire book, which if you don't want to hear, I won't be offended. I also am not as smooth as usually when I'm reading it - it's hard to read and hold a camera!)
