In this Caldecott Medal winner. Max, a wild and naughty boy, is sent to bed without his supper by his exhausted mother. In his room, he imagines sailing far away to a land of Wild Things. Instead of eating him, the Wild Things make Max their king.
This is such a neat book, brings back so many memories! I used to
love getting it out from the library when I was young. Now I enjoy
reading it to my daughter!
I remember reading this book when I was a child. I loved it. My son
picked this out as one of his 2 books per visit from the library a few
months back. I had to read it to him every night at bedtime until we had
to take it back to the library.
My two sons absolutely loved this book. They liked the idea of
going ‘where the wild things are and the book inspired a lot of play in
our house. The book nicely balances the child’s need for imaginative
thinking with a sense of limits and the pleasures of home.
