Summary: A Great Children's Book, in Many Ways
Review: Max puts on a wolf costume and feels mischievous. He breaks some rules and is sent to bed without supper. From there, his imagination takes over, a jungle grows in his bedroom, and he goes on a magical journey of (self-)discovery. The world he explores is populated by colorful, scary, and somewhat silly monsters who all get tamed by Max.This book is beautifully illustrated, the story flows rapidly and flawlessly, and the language is simultaneously simple and loaded with meaning. While it is unlikely to happen, watch out for your children trying to write like Sendak, with his trademark run-on sentences. This is the first book I remember reading by myself. It holds a special place in my heart. Wow! I think that any child can sympathize with Max as he just wants to do what he wants to do, and then gets in trouble for breaking the rules. We also can understand how his frustration and anger cannot be sustained in the face of parental clarity, consistency, and calm strength. He works through his anger during his "journey" through the "jungle" and tames himself as he tames the monsters. Along the way, he discovers how lonely he is and how much he dislikes disapproval. The ending is simple, happy, and realistic. This is a great book to read with your children, and then turn over to them to read on their own. It opens the door to discuss many simple but crucial issues of childhood. Please buy this book and use it.

Summary: By far the best childrens book.
Review: Of all the many books that I had read to me during childhood this will always remain the dearest to me. The story and the illustrations are just fantastic. I recently purchased this for a young relative of mine but had to read it before I gave it to him, I honestly considered keeping it for myself. It is really timeless. I know that it would be treasured by any child that had the chance to have it read to them.

Review: I liked this book ever since I first read I just loved how the main character uses his imagination its really weird because when I was little I thought that actually happened in his room but now that I'm older I can see how funny and cool the book is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: What a Wonderful Classic
Review: This is my 15 month's old favorite book. Almost every night he pulls it out from a stack of various children's books and carries it to me to read. His and my favorite part is when the wild things "roar their terrible roars, roll their terrible eyes and show their terrible claws." I act out the part and tickle him when it comes to the claws. He goes into a giggle fit and can't stop for a few minutes. (So do I!)

Summary: From generation to generation'.
Review: This is the first book I ever read by myself (many years ago!) I found it on the shelf of the school library and at about 6 years old fell in love with it. I purchased this book in my third month of pregnancy as well as a cute little Max doll (my copy was very tattered after many years of use and I wanted my child to have a fresh copy.) My daughter is just turning 4 and she has started to take an interest in having it read to her again' and again' and again!!! The nice part about reading this one over and over again is I actually know it by heart and can read it to her while doing other things. If you have children this book is a must ' it has definitely withstood the test of time!

Summary: A classic, magical book
Review: No child's library is complete without this story of Max who gets into too much mischief and is sent to his room, only to imagine himself in a far away land where he is king and makes all the rules. I loved it as a child and it is one of my children's favorites too.
