Is anyone else so sad that Maurice Sendak died today?? I know I am. I love his books. Well, except the one with the naked baby showing all his bit and bobs (no reference to our blog, thank you very much) who is falling through the sky with a bottle of milk, I think? That one is just weird.

We turned that video off SO FAST! But, as you can see, I am still scarred by it years later.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this video of Christopher Walken reading Where the Wild Things Are, and it is HILARIOUS! Are you a fan of Christopher Walken? That guy is BEE-ZARRE, man! But strangely intriguing at the same time! You will get a kick out of his running commentary, so check this out...
That's all I got, Peeps. RIP Maurice Sendak. And I heart you, Christopher Walken...

So I'm pretty sure my friend Sarah and I showed the same scholastic video with the same results. Who would have thought?
Oh my! We have accidentally shown that same video too! I'm not sure why it was even in our school library. Your kiddos comments sound about the same as the ones we got!!!

Oh my goodness this happened to me TODAY! I was mortified! So glad to hear it wasn't just me! I am nervous to see if there will be any angry parents tomorrow!
So sad about Maurice Sendak, but my hubby and I were laughing so hard at Christopher Walken's interpretation of Where the Wild Things Are!!
BTW, I thought I was the only one who saw that weird, naked boy story!
