Where the Wild Things Are

A movie of the book is apparently being shot in Australia (http://www.wtwta.net). The screenplay is by Spike Jonze and Dave Eggars, so it should be good.
This was one of my favourite books as a child, not being able to afford a copy, I read it whenever I could in the East Finchley Public Library.
Pretty much all of East Finchley has changed from when I first lived there but the Library remains the same. I visit it whenever i am back in the UK and am always delighted to find that it has retained its lovely smell of books and wood polish. One of the reasons I became a librarian is due to my affection for this place.
