This is really off the chemtrail topic, but I figured somebody here might know the answer. Google was not helpful.Has the text ever been changed in Maurice Sendak's book, "Where the Wild Things Are"? A friend of mine remembers reading this line to his kids: "And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus begin!" But when he checked a recent edition of WTWTA, the sentence read: "And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!" Did the text change from "begin" to "start" sometime since 1963? Or is my friend misremembering the wording? Thanks in advance for any literary expertise you can offer. 3T3

Thanks, penumbra. I thought so, too, until I did this search: http://www.google.com/search?site=swr&q=maurice+sendak+let+the+wild+rumpus+start

 , that's funny. From a critical view, I cannot imagine him writing "start" It desn't flow off the tongue quite the same way as "begin". I don't think I have a copy of the book either. One of the links that came up for me was PBS Kids. Maybe you (or your friend) could e-mail or call PBS.
