I love Ogden Nash. I have a collection of his animal poems. (I don't know the others, but I always love a new introduction.)
The Duck (Ogden Nash)
Behold the duck.
It does not cluck.
A cluck it lacks.
It quacks.
It is specially fond
Of a puddle or pond.
When it dines or sups,
It bottoms ups.

Random comment of hopefulness!
Sendak was a terrific talent. The world will be "less" without him.
Oh wow! Sendak is my absolute favorite. I even contemplated repossessing the battered copy of Higglety Piggelty Pop! that I gave to my daughter over 20 years ago. I would love to win this set.

I received a set of Little Bear books from an aunt who lived in Switzerland when i was a little girl. They were my favorite, read over and over. Then read over and over to my girls now both grown. I feel like I've lost a close friend. RIP Maurice.
