Our favorite rascal didn’t disappear with Where the Wild Things Are. Nope: Max makes one more appearance–just one!–in Maurice Sendak’s reworking of Ruth Krauss’s 1948 classic Bears. 

The book contains just 27 words, and each one is perfect. Seeing Max reappear in a different setting introduces the same thrill as finding a twenty-dollar bill on the street or catching  a Steve Buscemi cameo in a totally unexpected movie. In other words, it’s neat.
