A Flickr photo pool based on Camp Creek art lessons also features some fine drawings. (Seven-year-old Gracie's drawing of a stuffed bison at the Arch museum ["of Westward Expansion"] in St. Louis rocks!)

I’m sorry, I have eyes for nothing but the owl.

Oh, yes, Daryl! I recognize the kinship with Patchen in some of these.

Yes I see the Sendak connection, Sheila. Some of the drawings also remind me of those done by the poet Kenneth Patchen. He did some great stuff.

Once you’ve recovered from admiring the little screech owl (I know — it took me a while), look at the first of the kids’ drawings and tell me whether it doesn’t remind you of Sendak’s Max in his wolf costume.
