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.

Max is a good boy! He just wants to hang out with the Wild Things!

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.
