5 Best Maurice Sendak Books: Musts for the Family

5 Best Maurice Sendak Books: Musts for the Family

My favorite films, my favorite foods, my favorite places and of course the works of Maurice Sendak. Many a parent rush out to buy their most beloved Maurice Sendak book to share read to their little one, even before their baby is even born.

In picture books too, the US produced classics which haven't readily crossed the Atlantic such as Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon as well as many which have and have lasted equally well here such as Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are.

And we've got Maurice Sendak, Richard Scarry, and the Google Doodle to thank. Egads, kids, we've got a lot of ground to cover. Sendak — he of Where the Wild Things Are fame — is hot, hot, hot on Google because he's publishing a new book!

The celebration featured a variety of fun Maurice Sendak related activities. Highland Park Public Library teamed with children Saturday morning during the Family Rumpus, a celebration that refers to the Maurice Sendak book Where The Wild Things Are.
