"RIP Maurice Sendak," commented Slash via Twitter. "A couple of your books were huge to me when I was a kid. Lot of great memories thinking about them."
He added, "Actually, Where the Wild Things Are was the catalyst for many a parent/teacher conference."
Sendak was best known for Where the Wild Things Are, which formed a trilogy along with In the Night Kitchen and Outside Over There.
