Why does any one make a face when they read the name “Maurice Sendak”?
Author of one of the most beloved children’s books of all times (Where the Wild Things Are).
Apparently my humor was too subtle for you. The point was that he had such an expressive look on his face “just” reading the author’s name, implying that when he REALLY got farther into the story, he’d blow the figurative doors off the anon’s “pop” in the post I was replying to. It was just a joke. Apparently a more subtle one than I thought.
The popular children’s book author wrote “Where The Wild Things Are” in 1963.
He won a Caldecott Medal for the book in 1964, and was adapted into a movie in 2009.
Received the international Hans Christian Andersen medal for illustration in 1970.
In 1983 he won the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award from the American Library Association.
Sendak stayed away from the book-signing bandwagon that many other authors use for publicity; he said he couldn’t stand the thought of parents dragging children to wait on line for hours to see a little old man in thick glasses. “Kids don’t know about best sellers,” he said. “They go for what they enjoy. They aren’t star chasers and they don’t suck up. It’s why I like them.”
Yeah, you’re humour is also lost on me.

Then the Secret Service bear said, “Goldilocks, I got one THIS big”.
Are they reading the karma sutra?
‘RAAAAAAR,’ said the economy, ‘I have come to eat all your jobs, and destroy the peoples’ faith in you!’
This guy’s an amateur. My pop could make much better faces when reading stories to us.
And especially on this book. (Still my favourite)
Except that he’s making that face as he reads the author’s name.

Not sure of your point???
