E102: Wild Things and Why Scary Matters

Today’s books are:

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. HarperCollins, 1963.

A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz. Dutton Books for Young Readers, 2010.

Read this fabulous article on the career of children’s book editor Ursula Nordstrom. Her collection of letters, Dear Genius, is very high on my to-read list.

You must see Maurice Sendak on The Colbert Report. Here’s the link to Part 1. And Part 2.

Find out about Adam Gidwitz and his life goals on his website.

Last and most sadly, here’s that Pew research on Americans who don’t read books.
