Possibly I should have been reading my children this book when they were little, if I had only known about it. It sounds very imaginative and we certainly were not adverse to that. Yes, I am sure I have heard of this book, but didn't realize its significance. Being a Dutch Mom to two American children was sometimes a tough job, because sometimes I missed out on the obvious things that American mothers would have known about. I was such a babe in the woods, just like Max in his adventure.The Green Stone Womanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661265089809229801.post-24962000016506387612008-01-29T10:11:00.000-06:002008-01-29T10:11:00.000-06:00Oh!

I think he's an example of someone who writes for himself and happens to still remember what it's like to be a child.<br><br>We love all of his things. One of the kids' favorites is a dvd that has "Really Rosie", "Don't Care Pierre", and quite a few other things on it. And "The Night Kitchen", of course. All of his work is so clever and it never panders to children. I think he's brilliant.Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05655321325607087357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661265089809229801.post-47086351764992340072008-01-29T07:16:00.000-06:002008-01-29T07:16:00.000-06:00that is a great, great book.and did you know that ...that is a great, great book.<br><br>and did you know that Maurice Sendak doesn't particularly like kids?lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.com
