Amazon.com Review
Where the Wild Things Are is one of those truly rare books that can be enjoyed equally by a child and a grown-up. If you disagree, then it's been too long since you've attended a wild rumpus. Max dons his wolf suit in pursuit of some mischief and gets sent to bed without supper. Fortuitously, a forest grows in his room, allowing his wild rampage to continue unimpaired. Sendak's color illustrations (perhaps his finest) are beautiful, and each turn of the page brings the discovery of a new wonder.

The wild things--with their mismatched parts and giant eyes--manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary; at times they're downright hilarious. Sendak's defiantly run-on sentences--one of his trademarks--lend the perfect touch of stream of consciousness to the tale, which floats between the land of dreams and a child's imagination.

This Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home.

Product Description
When Max puts on hiswolf suit and makes mischief, his mother calls him 'Wild Thing' and sends him to bedwithout any supper. But Max is not scared. Instead,Max tames the wild things and is made their king. When things have gone far enough, Max sends the wild things off to bed without theirsupper and returns to the safety of his bedroom. Alone in his room, Max enters amagical world and sets sail across the sea to the placewhere the wild things are. The wild things roar theirterrible roars and gnash their terrible teeth and roll theirterrible eyes and show their terrible claws ...

5 out of 5 stars Fun read for all ages   March 8, 2010
T. Chandler (Phoenix)
I ordered this book for my daughter and had completely forgotten the story. I had remembered loving the illustrations as a child and Max's costume. She loves the story and the illustrations as well; and has already began memorizing it which is great for her reading lessons and skills.

5 out of 5 stars Where the Wild Things Are ROCKS!   February 23, 2010
I love this book! My Mom and Dad read this book with me almost every night! I love the way Max is on an adventure and meets all of the Wild Things. It is a great story that makes me want to go on an adventure too. I love the colorful Wild Things that the author introduces us to...and I want to meet all of them! The great thing is that my Mom and Dad read this book a lot when they were little! This book rocks and I would recommend it to everyone that wants to read a simple book about a great adventure of one small boy!

5 out of 5 stars A Fun Book That Can Be Used To Teach A Deep Message   February 12, 2010
Mark K. Wickersham (Tianjin, China)
Where the Wild Things Are was published nearly fifty years ago and won the Caldecott Medal for the Most Distinguished Picture Book of the Year. It has won several other awards, and it is clearly evident why. I remember enjoying Where the Wild Things Are a great deal during my elementary years so I decided to read it to my girls this morning. I have a four year old and a seven year old, and both of them were entertained by the read. They laughed out loud at times and weren't scared in the least bit. Where the Wild Things Are shows a boy named Max misbehaving and then being sent to his room without dinner. While Max is in his room he imagines to sail to a land where the wild things are. Although the wild things have sharp teeth and claws, they are actually pretty cute. Max is crowned king of all wild things, but later imagines to sail back to his room after smelling good things to eat. The story ends with Max's warm and yummy supper waiting for him on a table. Reading this book to your children gives you the opportunity to teach them about obedience, stewardship, love, our choice of words, consequences, our imagination, grace and more. I hope to watch the movie soon.
