‘Now Jennie has everything. She is the finest leading lady The World Mother Goose Theatre ever had. Jennie is a star. She performs every day and twice on Saturday. She is content. Once Jennie sent her old master a letter. This is what it said:<\/em><\/p>\n

Hello,<\/em><\/p>\n

As you probably noticed, I went away forever. I am very experienced now and very famous. I am even a star. Every day I eat a mop, twice on Saturday. It is made of salami and that is my favorite. I get plenty to drink too, so don’t worry. I can’t tell you how to get to the Castle Yonder because I don’t know where it is. But if you ever come this way, look for me.<\/em><\/p>\n

This collection is dedicated to the memory of Maurice Sendak. His writing and artwork were such a big part of my young life, and I’m so pleased that my daughters are also growing up with his stories. I have included a separate PDF featuring drawings that they did this week to go along with this post. Please visit the Maurice Sendak Wikipedia post<\/a> for a rather extensive overview of his life as an artist, illustrator, and writer.<\/p>\n

Please support the bands by buying their records and going to their shows. Click on each link for more info.<\/p>\n
