I saw Sendak on The Colbert Report a while back. He and Colbert truly had great banter going back and forth. The children - and parents - of the world will surely miss him.

Many of my earliest childhood reading/listening memories. "Really Rosie" would have to be my favorite of his works.

Really Rosie was my favourite too. Besides, I thought he was dead for a couple of years
