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
In the forty years since Max first cried "Let the wild rumpus start," Maurice Sendak's classic picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. Now, in celebration of this special anniversary, introduce a new generation to Max's imaginative journey to where the wild things are.

I bought this book for my two grandchildren. They are a boy 5 and a girl 6. They saw the movie first and they love to read the book. My grandson is a "Wild Thing" himself.

This was a gift for my grand daughter. I have not seen the book myself but my daughter says her baby girl loves it.
 Where the Wild Things Are by Destiny November 16, 2009
I love how Maurice Senak turned Max's room into a forest that he roamed out of and discovered the Wild Things. The best thing that I loved is how they had their rumpus with Max being the King of the Wild Things. Mr. Sendak was brilliant how he made the end of the book, when Max smelled his dinner and came back to his room. Lastly, I thought it was a good idea how Mr. Sendak made Max sail across months, days, and years! I love that book!
Where The Wild Things Are by a awesome Dude!!!! November 16, 2009
This book has tons, I mean TONS of imagination in it. The book is about a curious kid named max who gets in trouble because he stabbed his cat with a fork, so he got sent up to his room. Then his bed turned into a clump of trees then his room changes into a forest. Will Max ever get back home??? "))) <. I recommend This book to all picture book readers!!
