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 its been too long since youve 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. Sendaks 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 theyre downright hilarious. Sendaks 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 childs imagination.
This Sendak classic is more fun than youve ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that theres no place like home.
In the forty years since Max first cried "Let the wild rumpus start," Maurice Sendaks classic picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved childrens books of all time.Now, in celebration of this special anniversary, introduce a new generation to Maxs imaginative journey to where the wild things are.
