And Max the king of all wild things was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all. #MauriceSendakDay

Oh please don't go—we'll eat you up—we love you so! #MauriceSendakDay

That very night in Max’s room a forest grew…until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around...#MauriceSendakDay

Mickey the Milkman dived down to the bottom singing I’m in the milk... God bless milk and God bless me! #MauriceSendakDay

“Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do.” #MauriceSendakDay

[Maurice Sendak Day @SendakDay]

...his mother called him “WILD THING!” and Max said “I’LL EAT YOU UP!” #MauriceSendakDay

[Maurice Sendak Day @SendakDay]

What’s all the fuss? I’m Mickey the pilot! I get the milk the Mickey way! #MauriceSendakDay
