First Docta Seuss checked out on us (1991), then it was Richard Scarry (1994), and now Syd Hoff has joined them both in kiddie lit heaven. Who’s Syd Hoff? He was a cartoonist for The New Yorker and author of del classics, Sammy the Seal and one of me personal favorites, Danny and the Dinosaur. He died of pneumonia on May 12th at the age of 91. My childhood heroes are dropping like flies! I better move to Where The Wild Things Are before Maurice Sendak croaks next!!
