This book is interesting because it is a well-known writer and artist talking about other well-known writers and art (and some lesser known). Of particular interest are Sendak's thoughts on music and art, his discussion of Mother Goose artwork, Beatrix Potter books, and his thoughts on objectionable elements in literature.
