Caldecott and Co.: Notes on Books and Pictures QUOTES

1 " Peter Rabbit, for all its gentle tininess, loudly proclaims that no story is worth the writing, no picture worth the making, if it is not a work of imagination. "

― Maurice Sendak , Caldecott and Co.: Notes on Books and Pictures

2 " Where the Wild Things Are was not meant to please everybody – only children. A letter from a seven-year-old boy encourages me to think that I have reached children as I had hoped. He wrote: ‘How much does it cost to get to where the wild things are? If it is not expensive my sister and I want to spend the summer there. Please answer soon.’ I did not answer that question, for I have no doubt that sooner or later they will find their way, free of charge. "

― Maurice Sendak , Caldecott and Co.: Notes on Books and Pictures
