When Is a Wolf Suit Not a Pair of Pajamas?

Thanks for the nice article on Maurice Sendak (“Facing the Frightful Things,” Oct. 11). As the mother of a 3-year-old, I think Mr. Sendak could drop in for dinner and we’d be able to talk like old friends.

However, your piece made a critical error regarding Max’s journey to “Where the Wild Things Are.”

Hey, any 3-year-old can tell you, especially right before Halloween, that Max wore his wolf suit, not his pajamas.
