Max is sent to bed without supper and imagines sailing away to the land of Wild Things, where he is made king. 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 would have to be one of the all time best childrens book ever written.

My son had owned this book for a few months now.
It has been his favourite since, and he requests it as bedtime story at least 5 nights a week still.
Yep, I'd say its a winner!

This is an amazing children’s book. One of the most memorable from my childhood. I can still remember my primary school teacher reading this to our class. The art work is amazing and is just a great fantasy all round. Would recommend it to parents and teachers for there kids :)
