Maurice Sendak said of himself that he wasn't a children's author. He just portrayed childhood honestly. Nevertheless, Sendak holds a place as a favorite kids' author and illustrator. He passed away on May 8 and as we bid farewell to author Sendak, let's remember him by his books. The Where the Wild Things Are movie premiered October 16, 2009.

Oh, the places Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, has gone in 108 years. From the Jungle of Nool to the top of Mt. Crumpet to the best-seller list and On Beyond Zebra, the good doctor is loved in all lands, tongues and, I suspect, genera and species. As the Washington Post reminds us, March 2 is the birthday of this patron saint of fun. I propose that, in honor of Seuss Day we elect Geisel our newest polymath, our next Renaissance Man.
