Favorite book as a child. I would make my mom read it to me every night. I think she might have been even more excited than I was when the film came out. RIP.

R.I.P, I hold Where The Wild Things Are dear to my childhood. At least he lived a long life.

Rest in peace, there's too many creative minds dying these days. :(

The man who gave every kid freedom of imagination.

RIP, good sir.

Sad day. Funny how the title of the articles refers to a book that isn't where the wild things are. RIP

Hope he didn't see the movie before he died.

Chicken Soup with Rice was one of my favorite childhood books!

Found this on Tumblr:

Why are the people responsible for my favorite things when I was younger dying all at once?

Was he the director of the movie or the guy who sings the song in the trailer that is like AHHH AHHH AH AHHHH and indie and shit?
