This book makes bedtime fun and encourages kids to use their imagination. In this day and age of nintendo, x-box and other very passive activities that put the user into a trance it is nice to know there is something out there than can reach a kid and push him or her to think and be creative. Buy this for every kid you love. You will not be disappointed. |

I remember this book from my childhood, and when my daughter became old enough, I bought a hard cover edition for her. It's her favorite bedtime story. She is 4 years old and can recite almost the entire book from memory. It's the simplest of stories, but the thing that always strikes me is the faith that home is the place where you are loved most of all, and supper will always be waiting for you. And it will still be warm. |

The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another. So starts one of the most perfect and wonderful illustrated children's books of all time. Max like many children has been engaged in a bit of mischief and is sent to bed without supper. While in his room he imagines an imaginary place where the "beasts" are wild and he is ruler. Max learns that this is not the kind of place he wants to live and even though he has made mischief, he is still loved by his parents. Both are important lessons for a child. As a preschool teacher, I have read this book countless times to many children and can attest to its appeal. The children are delighted to roll their eyes, show their claws and roar their roars along with the wild things when the wild rumpus starts. For new parents this is one book I would say to include in your child's library. I'm sure that you will read it enough times to memorize it. Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are was first published in 1963 so stands the test of time having served generations of children. The story and illustrations are as appealing today as they were nearly 40 years ago. |

Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are is a wonderfully presented story for children. The tale focuses on an apparently rowdy youth, Max, who is sent to bed without supper for his rambunctious escapades in the house. Later that night Max dreams of a magical rowdy world where he is king of all things wild and terrible, but eventually Max comes to realize that having everything always go your way lacks any real fulfillment. The incorporation of some values into a beautifully illustrated adventure is sure to entertain any small child while still effectively presenting a subtle message. Thus, a child is not confused, nor presented with a meaningless tale. The pictures have been recognized worldwide and have been presented with the prestigious Caldicott Award for illustrations in children's books. This book is printed in hardcover, a bonus for when handling is to be done by children, and the font is large and separated from pictures to avoid confusion. The author's connection of the textual story to the pictoral story is helpful for children learning to read as well, as it helps to form associations between pictures and words. Widely recognized as a classic, Where the Wild Things Are is a necessity for any small child's library. |

Adults who loved this classic can pass on the magic to their own children (and it's a tossup who will enjoy it the most!). This beautifully illustrated story of mischievous Max continues to enchant generation after generation. |
