1928年6月10日，莫里斯·森达克出生在米老鼠首次卡通亮相的同一天，这似乎是完全合适的。仙达克痴迷于卡通和漫画书，12岁时，在看完迪士尼的《幻想曲》后，他决定成为一名插画师。小莫瑞斯很早就开始喜欢儿童读物了:他经常卧病在床，不停地读啊读啊读。虽然他自己写的许多故事轻松有趣，但重要的故事——野兽在哪里，在夜间的厨房里，在外面——都涉及到愤怒、嫉妒、遗弃，这些内容以前从来没有在图画书中出现过。除了涵盖职业生涯的亮点，这本易于阅读，配有插图的传记还描述了这位天才的个人生活。莫里斯·森达克是二十世纪极具影响力的儿童书籍艺术家之一，是孩子们的完美选择!

It seems entirely fitting that Maurice Sendak was born on the same day that Mickey Mouse first made his cartoon debut--June 10, 1928. Sendak was crazy about cartoons and comic books, and at twelve, after seeing Disney's Fantasia, he decided that he was going to become an illustrator. His love of childrens books began early: often sick and confined to bed, little Maurice read and read and read. Though many of his own stories were light and funny, the most important ones--Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There--dealt with anger, jealousy, abandonment, content that had never before been the subject of picture books. As well as covering career highlights, this easy to read, illustrated biography also describes the personal life of this genius. Who Was Maurice Sendak is perfect for kids wild about one of the most influential children's book artists of the twentieth century!
