" Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. i loved it. i answer all my children's letters...i sent him a card and i drew a picture...i wrote, 'Dear Jim: i loved your card.' the i got a letter back form him mother and she said, 'jim loved your card so much he ate it.' that to me was one of the highest compliments i've ever recieved. he didn't care that it was an original Maurice sendak drawing or anything. he saw it, he loved it, he ate it."
