Here are some examples:
As a child I spent countless hours immersed in the worlds created by Sendak, capering in the Night Kitchen, exploring the Wild Thing island and adventuring with Little Bear, Duck, Hen and Owl. When I lived in Japan in the 90s I was fortunate to see an exhibition of Sendak's original illustrations - I thought they were just beautiful!
Some people don't seem to like Sendak's work. What's your take on it? Does it evoke any particular memories for you?

The pictures are all gorgeous. Did you hear there's a WTWTA movie coming out later this year?
Hi Sarah - yes, I've seen the trailer, but I'm not sure whether or not I want to see the film. There's always the risk that it might somehow spoil a beautiful story (and I wonder how they'll draw a feature-length film out of such a book).....
Hmmm ... I'll be interested to read the reviews when they come out.
These are beautiful interpretations - I love them. I was very excited the time I saw one solitary Sendak original at Artplay ... I would love to see a whole exhibition like you have!
