Summary: One of the few perfect books ever written
Review: Reviewing Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" is a bit like pointing at a full moon on a clear night: it's rather hard to miss. My favorite book as a child first learning to read, "Where the Wild Things Are" has recently moved into the handful of books my 3-year old daughter wants read to her again and again (and again and again). Max's rebelliousness and imagination are like looking into a mirror for her: as Max realizes what awaits him at home, I like to think she too remembers all those times she misbehaved and got angry and then decided her parents were okay after all. The pictures still hold their charm after nearly four decades; their quirkiness hasn't faded. This book belongs in the library of every human on the planet, regardless of age.

Summary: Another Classic to Pass Along...get the HARDCOVER!
Review: This book, written in 1963, has been in our family for near to 30 years in its original hardcover edition!It's been passed down, from my oldest at 32 to my youngest, now 8. Each child had their own reasons for loving it, and my tattered (but still good enough for grandkids) copy carries scribbles and memories from each of my sons. Max is so mad at his mother one evening, when she puts him in his room, he sails off for a year, venturing out where the wild things are - huge, strange looking creatures with terrible eyes and terrible claws, who dance by the light of the moon. Max handles them all, shouting "BE STILL" until they are so frightened, they agree he's the most wild thing of all. He goes home in time to eat the supper (the cause of his anger), which is still warm. The illustrations, colored sketches by Maurice Sendak, invite the imagination of children who might just like a good tale. For kids who are beginning to express their anger (from 2 to 5), this book is a safe expression of just how *mad* a child can get, and how they can control those wild feelings! The words are few, and some pages are filled with nothing but Max and the Wild Things, after "the wild rumpus begins." If you like this book, get it in hardcover. It will be read so many times, you'll be glad you did!

Summary: A classic for your child to enjoy
Review: My 3 year old son loves this book. Beautifully illustrated and the winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal for illustration, this is a fantasy of a little boy who is put in his room for misbehaving (a time out in modern day language). Max turns his room into a jungle and sails away on a ship, over seas with fire breathing dragons and monsters, then to arrive on an island where the wild things live. If you are of the 20th century, you must have seen these illustrations as they are part of our culture. Max becomes the king of the wild things and sees the wild things through a rumpus, where they hang from trees and have a wonderful time. Max decides to leave as he misses his mother and returns to his room where his mother has left him his supper, and it is still hot. No need to psychoanalyze this story. Your kids will enjoy it. The monsters are not scary and the story and illustrations are terrific. You and your kids should greatly enjoy this story. Highly highly recommended!

Summary: Buy this book for your Children!
Review: In my opinion...this is one of the best children's books ever written. The story as well as the illustrations are first rate and absolutely timeless. I have never met a child who did not love this book to death. Every family needs a hardback to copy to love and read time and time again (which I guarentee you will). I have so many memories attatched to this story ... I can't say enough about it. So again I repeat - BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR CHILDREN! (or anyone who needs more wild things in there life).

Summary: Childhood memories
Review: Simply put this book is wonderful! When i was little girl my gradmother used to read it to me, and i loved it! All the different creatures and settings made your imagination work hard! To me it was a wonderful part of my childhood. When i have kids this will certianly be the first book I read to them. I hope that my children will find the same joy in it that I did. My favorite character was Max, to me he was what every child's imagination should be, way out there! Children don't care if something is practicle or not and this book shows that. It didn't matter when I was 5 and it won't matter when I am 100 i will always find great joy in this book. I hope you do too!
