Product Description
Beautiful, award winning, hardcover book, " Where the Wild Things Are" is a classic childrens' book that ever child should have in their collection of books at home! This book is filled with fantasy to encourage children to dream and pretend in their own world.
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.

Where The Wild Things Are is an incredible imaginative story that is fun to read. The illustrations and cover are amazing. The story is about a boy named Max who escapes to a mysterious land full of strange creatures. This book is a classic and for good reason.... great read.

I've given this wonderful book as a gift over one hundred times to co-workers and friends upon the birth of their first child -- male or female. My children love to have us read it to them and read it to each other.
