	I loved this book when I was younger, so sad to hear of the author's death. RIP.

	Love this book. Also by Sendak, Outside Over There and In the Night Kitchen - beautiful, dreamy children's books.

	Strangely I was never aware of this book until I had children of my own, and it quickly became a staple of their bedtime story rotation. RIP, Mr. Sendak, you brought joy to many.

	I never read the book when I was a kid. The first time I ever heard about it was the movie.

	Thank you for the publish. I'm glad I could be part of Mr. Sendak's tribute. RIP

	I would have guessed that I had this memorized a few years ago, but my youngest is now seven, so it's probably been three years since I've read it. And it shows. Just 46/139. Time to break it out again. Let's not forget Sendak's distinct visual style that contributed to sets, costumes, and the book for the Nutcracker ballet.

	I was really pleased to see this quiz come up, so kudos for doing it. But a bit disappointed about the decision to put the words in alphabetical order 'for ease'. A lot of these quizzes have the full text in order, which is a lot less hard, and means you end up with the text written out at the end, which is nice.

	I'd never seen Sendak until he appeared recently on Colbert - what a delightful curmudgeon, still astute and quick witted. Even at 83, his death seems premature. Sad.

	I know I'm gonna get downvoted like a madman, but I think this is such an overrated book. No disrespect meant to Mr. Sendak at all.
