The Wild Things had fur and the kid had a wolf suit. :-) More on topic, I once read a version Rudolf Tesnolihdek's "The Cunning Little Vixen" that featured illustrations by Sendak. I think he also did costume designs for the Janacek opera.

various animal characters. How furry he did them though, I don't know.

In article <1860704.8.1336508777656.JavaMail.geo-discussion-forums@ynid1>,
( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Sendak )
I have some of his books & videos:
1) the Wild Things characters originally had no names.
They were later named for his Jewish family & friends.
The "live action"/costume movie gave them all new names.
I have the original book, plush, backpack and figurines.
2) On the light side, he did "In the Night Kitchen"
which is kinda like Little-Nemo
for the dream-like abstract characters & settings.
There's a series of animations of that and the Nutshell Kids
(Really Rosie, Alligators All Around, Chicken Soup with Rice).
3) He did more adult themed books
a) The Miami Giant (written by Arthur Yorinks) (1995)
Kinda like King Kong but with macrophile-giant Jews from Florida
b) We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy (1993)
that blends 2 almost-forgotten Nursery Rhymes into a compelling story
of child abuse, homelessness and poverty
c) citing Wikipedia:
In the 1990s, Sendak approached playwright Tony Kushner
to write a new English version of the Czech composer
Hans Krasa's children's Holocaust opera Brundibar.
Kushner wrote the text for Sendak's illustrated book of the same name,
published in 2003. The book was named one of the
New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Illustrated Books of 2003.
For a while, Bell Atlantic's "Wild Things" promotion
used the Wild Things monsters in commercials.

"The night Max wore his wolf suit
and made mischief of one kind and another ...
let the wild rumpus begin!"
That's sure the origin of masks and fursuits!

I recall a half-hour TV animation with the voice of Carole King. It's on

YouTube. Just search for "really rosie". Maurice Sendak portrays a dog
barking.

I recall that back in the 90s he did a comic book jam with Art
Spiegelman that was interesting, too, more adult oriented.
