But the wild things cried, “Oh please don't go- We'll eat you up- we love you so! - Maurice Sendak

Oh, please don't go — we'll eat you up — we love you so!

Oh, please don't go — I'll eat you up — I love you so!

Oh please don't go- we'll eat you up- we love you so!

Please don't go. We'll eat you up. We love you so.

And all children were in the Holocaust. Everybody was in the Holocaust. So, I made sure my hero and heroine were not Jewish children. That was too easy. That was too easy.
