Maurice Sendak is one of those names that is synonymous with children’s literature. Along with books that he has written and illustrated, such as “Where the Wild Things Are” (1963) and “In the Night Kitchen” (1970), he has illustrated dozens of others. “Where the Wild Things Are,” a book that has been credited with changing the rules for contemporary children’s literature, is in the news because of the new movie adaptation directed by Spike Jonze (cowritten with Dave Eggers). And the first thing you might ask is, how does Jonze make a 48-page, 10-sentence children’s book into a 94-minute feature film?/ Dan Webster , Movies & More. More here .

Question: Which children’s book is your all-time favorite? And/or: Do you plan to see the movie adaptation of “Where the Wild Things Are”?
