Google has celebrated the late author with a Google Doodle of his best-known characters.

The doodle begins with a 360-degree tour of Where the Wild Things Are, but also highlights his other masterpieces, like In the Night Kitchen, a book that was surrounded by controversy because its young protagonist appeared fully naked. Sendak had strong opinions about the differences�or lack thereof�between children and adults. "I don�t believe in children," he famously said. "I don�t believe there�s a demarcation of �you mustn�t tell them this, you mustn�t tell them that.� You tell them anything you want."
