Today I went to the Jewish Contemporary Museum to view the Sendak exhibit.  I loved it!  It just reminded me of how much his books were an inspiration to me.  As I went through his collection of work, all my childhood memories came flooding back.  My favorite characters were Pierre (who doesn't care), Rosie (with the boa), and of course Max from Where the Wild Things Are.  All have such lively personalities and mischievous tendencies.  It was always a fun read and I was always absorbed in the artwork.  All Maurice Sendak fans should definitely check out this exhibition!  It's very informative and reminds you how much of a great illustrator and storyteller he is!
