the 'really rosie' movie came out when i was around ten and was one of my favorites; it was right up there with 'it's the great pumpkin, charlie brown'... this is my book that i got thru the scholastic weekly reader program way back when... the kids got a kick out of seeing that i really had been small once, as evidenced by the writing... and that i am old, because there is no room #18 in the school anymore - they go/have gone there too... we actually have the soundtrack in my car - listening to carol king sing 'one was johnny' is great for the early school run...
years ago, when i got the book, i found this quote and taped it inside... i had forgotten it & was glad that i found it...
this is an exhibit going on in nyc... i was kind of sad when i looked up the please touch museum in philly this morning... when emily was little, sendak had collaborated with them and created an area that was dedicated to his books - 'in the night kitchen', 'where the wild things are', etc... there were max costumes that the kids could put on and a slide of pouring milk that went into a large bowl... i was going to include that here but i don't see any evidence of that being there anymore...
and last, but never least, is one of my wild things - who is happily back to color after a short blonde hiatus...
this time we did a fade from very light pink to cherry bomb...
the movie is described as a comedy... but i am bringing tissues... i always cry at the movies!
