Maurice Sendak and Richard Egielski

     Maurice Sendak and Richard Egielski are two very talented artists.  Maurice Sendak is very well known for his writing and illustration of children's books.  Richard Egielski is also very talented illustrator of children's books.  Both of these men have won many awards and critical acclaim for their work.
     Maurice Bernard Sendak was born on June 10, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York.  He grew up in a poor Brooklyn neighborhood.  His parents were Jewish immigrants from Poland.  Maurice Sendak did not have a very happy childhood.  His parents along with his brother, Jack, and sister, Natalie, moved many times from apartment to apartment.  They had to move whenever their apartment was painted because his mother could not stand the smell of fresh paint.
Sendak was a very sickly child.  He had measles, double pneumonia, and scarlet fever before he was four years old.  He spent a lot of time in bed because his parents worried about him going out to play.  They were terrified he would get sick and die.  "I was a miserable kid," he confessed to Lanes.

He also loved to go to the movies and he liked classical music.  Sendak loved to draw pictures of the neighborhood children.  He used to watch them playing from his bedroom window and many of the characters in his books have been based on them.

In this book a little boy, Max, is sent to bed without his supper because he has been very naughty (a wild thing).  In the story Max retreats into a make-believe world where a jungle grows in his room, and he sails off with the wild things to have a wonderful adventure.  In the book Max becomes the king of all the wild things and they are his obedient servants.  The words stop and the illustrations take over about half way through the book.  This reader felt like she was with Max on his wonderful adventure.  Then towards the end of the story Max gets tired and hungry.  He sails back home to be a little boy again and finds his dinner waiting for him, still hot!
     According to Barbar, when Maurice Sendak won the Caldecott medal for Where the Wild Things Are it caused a lot of controve...
