Author Notes
Maurice Sendak was born on June 10, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York. While in high school, he worked part time as an illustrator for All-American Comics adapting the Mutt and Jeff newspaper comic strip to a comic book format. His first professional illustrations were for a physics textbook, Atomics for the Millions, published in 1947. He later worked as a window-display director for F.A.O. Schwartz while attending night school at the Art Students League. In 1950, he illustrated his first children's book The Wonderful Farm by Marcel Aymé. He wrote his first children's book Kenny's Window in 1956 and went on to become a prolific author-illustrator.
His works include Chicken Soup with Rice; In the Night Kitchen; Outside Over There; Higglety Pigglety Pop; The Sign on Rosie's Door; We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy; Brundibar; Bumble Ardy; and My Brother's Book. He received numerous awards including the Caldecott medal for Where The Wild Things Are in 1964, the Hans Christian Andersen International Medal in 1970, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, and the National Medal of Arts in 1996.
Characters from two of his books were the basis of an animated television special, Really Rosie, which first aired in 1975. He was also the set designer and lyricist for a subsequent off-Broadway musical of the same title. He was the lyricist, as well as the set and costume designer, for the original production of an opera based on Where The Wild Things Are in 1980. In addition, he has designed sets and costumes for performances of operas by Mozart, Prokofiev, and other classical composers. He died due to complications from a recent stroke on May 8, 2012 at the age of 83.

School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 3A carefully translated version of the perennially popular 1964 Caldecott Medal winner. The playful and whimsical style of the original text is maintained from start to finishfrom the night mischievous Max dons a wolf's suit to his landing in the place where the wild things roam, from his enthronement as King of these temperamental and pudgy beasts to his renunciation as leader for a steaming bowl of home cooking. Still an engaging fantasy after more than three decades, this extraordinary picture book strikes at the very essence of childhood urges for unlimited freedom without losing the security of home. A timeless beauty of a classic with the most imaginative of monster engravings. Perfect for reading aloud in this finely accomplished Spanish version.Selene S.
