thank you skylights books for having a copy of this in the sale section.  i've been eyeing this book for quite some time now.  at barnes and noble mommy? runs for 24.95.  i copped it for a cool 5.95.  hazzah!  i heart discounted books.  the only reason it was discounted because the book is allegedly  "damaged".  it's got a couple of cracks in the back spine, but otherwise it isn't too noticeable.   it probably wouldn't work as a gift, but it works as a book for me. 


i love maurice sendak.  he's rawresome. where the wild things are is one of my childhood favorites.  there's a where the wild things are mural on melrose.  it's one of my faves. 


mommy? is cute.  the rugrat with the pompom beanie is looking for his mommy.  thus the question mark.  the book follows his quest to find her.  it's similar to dr. seus'  are you my mommy? just with hallow's eve friends.  if you enjoy sendak's artistry, you will enjoy this book.


 i feel like this entry should be after an episode of reading rainbow.  you know, when levar burton's says, "But you don't have to take my word for it..." and then some kid goes off on a book that she/he likes.   that shit was awesome.  i heart reading rainbow.  this show brings back summer childhood memories.  summer days that consisted of swimming lessons in the morning, lunch and reading rainbow afterwards.  rawresome.
