CHILDREN'S BOOKS AND OTHER ILLUSTRATION WE LOVE

“…a glowing example of how children’s books should be adapted to film — in a style that is faithful to the original artwork, and, at 25 minutes long, not stretched and padded to meet some arbitrary 90-minute feature length. (I’m looking at you, The Cat in the Hat)” - (via Drawn!)

Okay enough with Where The Wild Things Are. Let’s spread the love. Strega Nona is the bomb.
I… don’t remember what this is about, but I do know I read it as a child.  Actually, that’s exactly like Where the Wild Things Are.

Story by Maurice Sendak

Tomi Ungerer
His first children’s book, “The Mellops Go Flying,” about a family of daring French pigs, was published to glowing reviews in 1957, the same year he introduced his friend Shel Silverstein to his editor, who would soon publish another of Mr. Ungerer’s friends, Maurice Sendak. “No one, I dare say, no one was as original,” Mr. Sendak said of him. “Tomi influenced everybody.”

“By confining your child to blameless stories of child life in which nothing at all alarming ever happened, you would fail to banish the terrors, and would succeed in banishing all that can ennoble them or make them endurable. For in the fairy tales, side by side with the terrible figures, we find the immemorial comforters and protectors, the radiant ones; and the terrible figures are not merely terrible, but sublime.”

—C.S. Lewis (On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature) (via bunkercomplex)
