Everybody knows that Where the Wild Things Are, based on Maurice Sendak's classic book, is in the theaters and creating a lot of buzz.
You've probably know the book too, considering you're one of the "wild things" that calls the Griffin School your learning institution of choice. Come to think of it...who at Griffin would be a good Max? What about the"wild thing" with two horns? With three horns? The rooster? The "girl?"
Maurice Sendak is a pretty interesting and complicated fellow and he's created many more fascinating artistic works in his lifetime. In the Night Kitchen has often been censored for it's depiction of a naked boy. Sendak rarely has failed to evoke powerful reponse through his art.
The Griffin School Library has a great collection of Sendak's art in The Art of Maurice Sendak by Selma G. Lanes. You can find it on the shelf at call number
