In his lifetime, he illustrated over 80 books, and received many awards, including the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. In 1970 he was the first American to win the Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator's Medal. He passed away in May 2012.

"I have nothing to do, Mamma," Rosie said. "Well, do something," her mother said. So Rosie pastes a note on her front door and sits down to wait for Magic Man who will tell her what to do. Kathy, Dolly, Pudgy and Sal find her note and join Rosie on her front steps and they soon discover that the day isn't long enough for all the games they've found to play. A humourous and insightful celebration of the power of the imagination and the resourcefulness of childhood.
