Someone make this book happen! (On second thought, don't.)
He will never be forgotten, because he was so cool.
Book critic Kathryn Schulz on the man behind a whole raft of beastie boys.
The books of Sendak, who died today at 83, are as universal a staple of early childhood as a pacifier or a tantrum.
The author of Where the Wild Things Are has died.
Sendak and Colbert love each other.
When people ask him to do a Where the Wild Things Are sequel, he tells them to go to hell.
As for his feelings about Roald Dahl? "He's dead, that's what's nice about him."
The director talks about bonding with Sendak, how documentary is different than narrative film, and the best way to release a movie.
Also, says the charming Sendak: "I'm going to die pretty soon."
Plus: Should 'Dollhouse' be canceled, Eliza Dushku is already lining up her next gig.
It certainly looks familiar, doesn't it?
Says Sendak: "What I've seen [Spike Jonze] do is, he's turned it into his without giving up mine ... He's touched me very much."
Sendak says he hates 'syrupy animation.'
