This book is one of a kind. It takes you to a place where your mind can have great fun with imagination. Any child will love this book because it makes them feel as though that they are in the story themselves. |

I first read this curious book when I was a child, and my daughter frequently demanded that I read and reread it to her, and I have just read it to my grandson for the first time-who demanded that we read it a second-then a third-then a fourth time-chatting about the artwork and laughing about the silly monsters. At four years old, before he went to sleep he mused if the story had been real or perhaps it was a dream. "I hope I have a dream like that," he said as I flipped off the lights. It could have no higher recommendation. |

You say your child acts like a wild thing sometimes? Read this book with him, and see what happens. Max was acting quite wild one day, and got sent to bed without supper. He dreamed (or was it a dream?) that he went to the land of the wild things and became their king. He had a lot of fun there, but missed home, so he came back, and his supper was still warm (I love that line). This is the granddaddy of the modern picture book where kids aren't always good, but Mom loves them anyway. A must-have for your 4-7 year old. |

I've read some recent children's books that stand up to the classics, but Pocahontas and Lion King don't quite make the grade. If you haven't already, introduce your child to Max. It will seem like they've known each other forever. If you do not have kids, but love artwork and the beauty of human spirit, then Where the Wild Things Are has a place on your shelf. It is a classic. |

This book is a terrific alternative idea for birthday party themes. For my 5 yr old's party, all the children made animal masks & then got in a circle as I read the book. Then at the end, we had music & they got to jump around like wild things and that led to wild things freeze dance. I bought a copy of the book for all the children that attended as their party favor. |

Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak, was first introduced to me in my children's literature class. I was hooked just from the title because it sounded so intriguing. This is a book that all children will enjoy. Max gets sent to his room for misbehaving and in his room his imagination takes over. Sendak expresses children's broad imagination and shows that there is a real purpose to it. Max is able to escape his punishment by making believe he travels to a land where he is king of all wild things. In this place he gets to make the rules unlike his situation at home. Most children dream of having this power to go wherever they want and do what they please. This book takes that dream and makes it a reality for children. Even though they can not escape Max did escape and he returned home safely. Children will relate to Max's situation and will feel pride in continuing to use their imaginations. |

I remember reading this book as a child and now that I have a "wild thing" of my own I can't imagine not owning this book. This is a must have story for all children's libraries in the home. It's the epitome of "imagination gone amok" and just how important it is to use your imagination. I love Maurice Sendak's stories and they always have an overall ending theme that home is where you are safe, warm and loved. From a thirty something Wild thing to the little wild things on the horizon... share this wonderful story of rebellion, imagination and strength of character. While the illustrations may seem scary for little ones, they are easily talked over and explained. |

I first bought this book for my oldest son who is now 9 when he was still in his mother's womb, I couldn't wait until he was old enough for me to read it to him. He loved it! I always read it with much enthusiasm and he loved to ROAR the terrible roars and gnash his terrible teeth and SHOW his terrible claws! I just started reading it to my 20 month old son who simply calls it "the book". He refuses to let me read any other book to him. His favorite parts are the pages with no words. We howl at the moon, make monkey sounds as we hang from the trees and march in the monster parade going hup, two, three, four and dance around the house like the wild things we are. Then he will sit for ages just carefully turning the pages and make "wild thing" noises and look at the pictures where as he tends to eat and chew on his other "books". I can't wait for Halloween so I can dress my youngest in a wolf suit and let the "wild rumpus start!" |

This book shows very good examples of imagination. In this book a young boy is dressed up in a wolf costume and he tells his mother he is going to eat her up. His mom then sends him to his room without any supper. Max gets very angry and starts to imagine weird things. That night, in his room, a forest grew, and grew and grew. His bedroom wasn't there any more. He went to a land where wild things lived. He was there for more then a year; well that's how it seemed. He met many terrible creatures and they tried to scare him, but the young boy wasn't scared one bit. The young boy could control the creatures and they were afraid of him. While the boy was there he and the creatures had a party and were really crazy. Then the little boy got homesick and he wanted to go home. He decided it was time for him to go home. He hopped back onto his ship and left the island where the wild things are. When he arrived back into his room it was no longer a jungle but it was the room he had had before. The boy was extremely hungry and wanted something to eat... I would rate this book probably a 5 because it has to do with a child's imagination and it is healthy for children to have a good one. I would suggest that you read it. |

There's a particular sense of joy you get as a parent when you can share something with your kids that you loved as a child. Sadly so many things that we liked of popular culture of our days is no longer around to share with our kids. Our TV shows are long gone for the most part, as well as the toys we played with. But there are a few examples. For one, I love being able to sit with kids during the holiday season and watching things like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" It's just too bad they no longer have the Dolly Madison commercials! Where the Wild Things Are is another thing I can share with my kids that I experienced. To think that 35 years later this wonderful book about the imagination of a child is still a top seller is amazing. Funny and imaginative with beasts that look scary but never are making this a book that transcends generations. The beautiful illustrations take me back to the days when this was a regular read for me. My 13 year old loved it and my two year old now loves it as well. |
