Let the Wild Rumpus Start!
Fans of Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are* will enjoy President Obama's rendition (via C-SPAN) of the book to a group of kids at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.Where the Wild Things Are is followed by the first lady and children doing If you Give a Mouse a Cookie. I'm not as fond of that book, and it's fortunate the President didn't take it on—it too easily reads like a satire on the legislative process.
UPDATE: Chris Holland couldn't believe that I neglected to link to the trailer of the upcoming Where the Wild Things Are movie. Duly added.
*It's too bad he didn't do Sendak's Pierre. He would have locked in the Liam vote.

I think he was having more fun than the kids!
I was sure the title ment collections had been released, oh well...;-)
"If You Give A MOuse A Cookie" strikes me as being much more about entitlements. I'm sure somebody would have objected if that's what GWB was reading to the kids when the towers fell.
I think the main problem was that he kept reading...
Have the Author's Guild filed a complaint yet about this flagrantly piratical unauthorized audio version?
I know. Not only audio rights, but dramatic re-enacting rights.
On the other hand, free publicity, finest kind!
