Never read this before. Delightful! And I love the illustrations!
Finally got down to read this classic. I don't remember having it as a child, but since my reread of The Starless Sea it kept spinning around in my head. Since I don't have kids, I can't really say how it depicts a child's tantrum, but when I think back to the ones I had as a child, it's a lovingly told story about how it feels to be in rage and calming down again.
I thought that the illustrator did a great work in the detail of the pictures. The color tone sets the vibe of the book. I appreciate the message of the book because it is a great reminder to everyone.
In this book the author does a great job of adding the message, even when you are scared you can find comfort. Max finds himself in a jungle in his bedroom and is terrified to find monsters but becomes the king of them all. In my opinion tells people reading the story that you do have control of the situations you are in.
This book encourages discussions on emotions, imaginative play, and the concept of home, making it a valuable resource for teaching about emotional expression and imaginative writing
Where the Wild Things Are is a timeless masterpiece that delves into a child's imaginative world. Max's journey to the land of the Wild Things is a tale of emotions and adventure. The book beautifully portrays the comfort of returning home after an exploration of one's feelings and imagination.
“Inside all of us is hope, fear, adventure. Inside all of us is a wild thing.”
This book is another one of my favorites that my parents used to read to me all the time. I love the story and how it shows that a child's imagination can be healing and helpful in emotional times. I also love the pictures and story because it is so timeless. It will always be an amazing books that children will love to listen to and look at.
Written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak in 1963 won a Caldecott medal in 1964. A boy wearing a wolf suit was so angry in his bedroom that it turned into a jungle where the wild things live. He must ride a boat to find them and when he does they find that the boy is the wildest of them all. He becomes their king and they run wild together.
Saw these blocks at the thrift store today. Obviously they had to come home with me to sit under this print.
I kind of love them. ❤️

This is a story about a young boy named Max. Max is very imaginative and imagines this new world in the jungle with all of these crazy creatures that he creates called the Wild Things. He uses his imagination to take him to this new place where he can learn and have fun and get away from real life for a bit. This is a classic story that is always a hit in the classroom. I would say it is a must read.

1. I can't remember a time when I couldn't read. My parents have told a story so many times I sometimes think I remember it, about me reading the Bible to my grandmother when I was 3. The earliest I'm sure I remember is probably Commander Hoff Fired It Off.
2. I still read Where the Wild Things Are several times a year. God, how I love that perfect book.
3. Perdido Street Station by China Miéville.
