	The Not-So-Wild Thing - What lessons is Maurice Sendak's Brundibar really teaching? By Ann Hulbert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sendak's is a spiky parable about the struggle for self-control, and it speaks to big readers and small listeners alike.
		At the same time, Sendak's books have the power to remind adults that we can still be baffled by such primal urges ourselves—especially when we're dealing with our children, whose deep need to rely on us, and defy us, is enough to unnerve and sometimes enrage any parent.
		Sendak has also dreamed up several garish new ogres (with truly awful tongues and in the case of the Hitlerian organ grinder, Brundibar, a telltale mustache).
