One of the best children's books out there!
It's perfect for kids of all ages. This is an amazing book that you'll never outgrow.

My fav show! They absolutely must bring it back for a second season. Mild violence is as far as it goes and is recommended for anyone who craves a good thriller.

A wild adventure for all to enjoy!
Where the Wild Things Are brings an audience of all ages to a world of fantasy as author Maurice Sendak sends young Max on an adventure through reality and the imagination using keen simplicity in his words and unique energy in his illustrations. Hungry and fully dressed in his wolf suit, Max finds himself grounded to his room, after causing too much mischief around the house. The physical walls of the bedroom are of no restraint to the wild boy’s behavior as he turns his room into a thrilling world full of lush vines, deep blue oceans, and wild monsters. Max becomes wilder than all of the wild things and runs with the monsters making a rumpus through the land, until loosing interest in his untamed behavior by the thoughts of home. Sendak brings wild adventure for children and a lasting thought of home for all.

One of the best children't books.
I always loved this book when i was younger. It's not that scary; but the 'wild things' might be too scary for younger kids.

Good!
I was never a huge fan of this book and as a young child, the monsters kind of scared me even though they were supposed to be kind monsters. It is classic, however, and no child should miss out on it.

Masterpiece...
The only bad things in this book are Max doing tons of horrible things. That is all I have to say about this wonderful book.

Fun story that opens to door to so many conversations
This is one of my all time favorite books from my childhood and I love reading it to my children and using it to teach in my classroom. Max is a character that many children can relate to and opens the door for teaching children responsible behavior as well as using their imaginations. In the end, the message of the story is one of family love.

I thought that the monsters in the book might scare my 2 year old daughter, but she actually loved this book. A good message about a child who gets angry at his mother, but comes to find out how much they love each other.

Good family lesson
This book should be shared by parents and children, so parents nurture a child's imagination, let them know that it's ok to get angry as long as we don't hurt anyone and that they are always loved unconditionally.
