I'm still digging up the rest of the crew, but here's a small group sitting on "Battle Mountain"
(with a little help from a cardboard block ; )
...and tamed them with the magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all...

"I saw Esau" is a cute book of verse for children and adults alike with fun illustrations by Maruice Sendak.
I saw Esau
Written by Peter and Iona Opie
illustrated by Maurice Sendak
First US Edition 1992
Stage prop designed by Maurice Sendak for the incomplete comic opera by Wolfgang Mozart, The Goose of Cairo. In the opera, Biondello rescues his imprisoned love, Celidora, by hiding in an enormous goose, just as the Greeks hid in the Trojan horse.
The goose's "Egyptian" appearance was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor's costumes in Cleopatra.
Seen in the exhibit "Wild Things Are Happening: The Art of Maurice Sendak" at the Columbus (Ohio) Museum of Art.
Testing out the entire thing - body... head... and attempting to walk around a little. Realised how impossible it is.
I should have paid more attention to where exactly I'd look out - I was pretty much able to see an area of about 2 feet, from 2 feet in front of me to about 4 feet in front of me. Not really ideal. Especially as I had to look down to see through the little gap under the top lip, but also had to keep my head level to support the head.

No doubt that my happy place is cuddled up with my boy, reading, playing a game, or as Jacques said to me this evening when he was feeling wiped out, "Maman, let's go chillax. I tired."
Here we are reading nearly everyone's favorite book "Where the Wild Things Are." I'm afraid the boy may be too young to enjoy the movie when it comes out in October... but I look forward to the day when we can chillax in bed & watch it together.
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
―(Maurice Sendak: Where the Wild Things Are)―
There should be.
And sometimes there is.
And sometimes we know where it is.
And sometimes even if we don't, we can guess.
And sometimes, we don't, and we can't.
But there is.
Couldn't resist. A pastiché of the iconic image from Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are", an all-time fave book. I see the movie is coming out, directed by Spike Jonze. It better be good...

"...And sailed back over a year
and in and out of weeks
and through a day
and into the night..."

The passing of such a great man who has played such a big parst in the total and utter pure love of books of all in this house has saddened everyone greatly.
This is a symbolic portrait of my two darling kids, my daughter was 7 when my son was born, and this picture kept reminding me of them. I love their little faces.
it comes from a book illustrated by Maurice Sendak, called a hole is to dig, it is written by Ruth Krauss
I have the Tattoo on my inner arm, above my elbow, where I hold my babies.
Mitchell and I went to Barnes & Noble tonight and I found this lovely little gem on the customer service desk. Totally geeked out like a five year old when the guy said I could have it.
Charming illustration from the 1950s children's book "A Hole is to Dig." It features Maurice Sendak's drawings paired with lovely text by Ruth Krauss.
