Happy birthday Maurice Sendak! From Google and from us.

Happy birthday Maurice Sendak! From Google and from us.

Today would have been Maurice Sendak's 85th birthday. And while we're still missing him, just about a year after his death, he lives on through some of our favorite Maurice Sendak children's books. And today, through one of the coolest Google Doodles ever.

 

 

Check today's Maurie Sendak Google Doodle and don't stop until it finish playing. And pst, let the kids watch too.

Also, be sure to click over for some our favorite Maurice Sendak children's books (including some you might not remember) and use today as an excuse to get that Sendak library up to snuff. And check out these great Maurice Sendak kids tees from Out of Print books. You won't regret either purchase, promise. -Liz
