A Google birthday

Google celebrated the 85th birthday of the American children's author Maurice Sendak today, with a delightful animation of some of the characters in his books. The best known are probably In the Night Kitchen and our particular family favourite Where the Wild Things Are !
My son really loved that story, and now my grandson is enjoying it! In fact, I bought him a Wild Thing tee shirt for his birthday recently.
In the story, a little boy called Max imagines himself sailing away to where the wild things are, becoming their king after taming them, and then sailing home again.
And when he got home after all that adventure, and sailing in and out of weeks, his supper was still hot.
Fantastic book! Happy birthday Mr Sendak!
