Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryWhere 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. |

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
Rating: 
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!
