Maurice Sendak and Christopher Walken. WHAT???

Happy Tuesday! Kerri here...
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.


True Story...one year Linds and I were showing a movie educational video during W week of Where the Wild Things Are and other Maurice Sendak stories (you know, the one through Scholastic?) and we decided to let the kids watch JUST ONE MORE part of the video, when lo and behold, the weird story with the naked kid came on (DANGIT!), only we had never seen it before and we had NO IDEA that an actual real male private part (I can't bring my self to type the real word-sorry) would be shown, so all of a sudden the kids started screaming and giggling about the "naked boy" and his "private parts." Can you say, "AWKWARD!"?? 
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...
