## Description

Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Medal-winning picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. A must for every child's bookshelf. This iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. When Max dresses in his wolf suit and causes havoc in the house, his mother sends him to bed. From there, Max sets sail to an island inhabited by the Wild Things, who name him king and share a wild rumpus with him. But then from far away across the world, Max smells good things to eat... Let the wild rumpus continue as this classic comes to life like never before with new reproductions of Maurice Sendak's artwork. Astonishing state-of-the-art technology faithfully captures the color and detail of the original illustrations. Sendak himself enthusiastically endorsed this impressive new interpretation of his art. Mary Pols of Time magazine wrote that "what makes Sendak's book so compelling is its grounding effect: Max has a tantrum and in a flight of fancy visits his wild side, but he is pulled back by a belief in parental love to a supper 'still hot." Generations have shared this beautiful picture book, and children of all ages will want to return to it again and again. New York Public Library's #4 book on the list of "Top Check-Outs of All Time" One of the National Education Association's "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children" The top picture book in School Library Journal's survey of its readers Maurice Sendak was also the creator of such classics as In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There , Higglety Pigglety Pop!, and Nutshell Library .

Review: Where the Wild Things Are - An Essential Addition to Every Child's Library - This beloved classic has been enchanting children for generations, and it's easy to see why it remains such a treasured favorite in our home. Maurice Sendak's masterful storytelling and distinctive illustrations create a perfect balance of adventure, emotion, and imagination that speaks directly to children's inner worlds. What makes this book truly special is how authentically it captures the emotional journey of childhood. Max's transformation from frustrated child to king of the wild things and back to the safety of home resonates with kids who understand those big feelings and the desire for both independence and security. The story validates children's emotions while showing healthy ways to process anger and disappointment. The illustrations are absolutely iconic - detailed, expressive, and slightly mysterious in a way that sparks endless imagination. The wild things themselves are fascinating rather than frightening, with their horns, claws, and wild eyes that somehow manage to be both fierce and friendly. Children love examining every detail of Sendak's intricate artwork. The text has a wonderful rhythm and flow that makes it perfect for reading aloud. The language is sophisticated enough to grow with children while remaining accessible to 4-year-olds. My kids have discovered new details and deeper meanings with each reading as they've grown older. The book's exploration of imagination, family relationships, and emotional regulation makes it incredibly valuable beyond just entertainment. It opens up natural conversations about feelings, boundaries, and the comfort of home and family love. An absolute must-have classic that belongs in every child's library - timeless storytelling that continues to captivate and inspire young readers.
Review: A Timeless Classic - Where the Wild Things Are is a timeless classic, and this hardback edition makes it even more special.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderfully wild experience...
*by A***N on March 17, 2009*

Inspired by my Ammy buddy Betty Dravis (yes, that's DRAVIS, not Davis), I decided to go ahead and write a review for a book I wouldn't normally. I become so self consumed with reading, watching and listening to more adult fare that I tend to neglect this genre altogether. Recently though, as my daughter has gotten a little older, I have been reading a lot of children's books. Her favorite thing in the world is being read to and so from the minute I get home until it's time to eat I find myself reading to my little angel. As a young boy I remember loving this book, and so since my daughter has this newfound adoration for books I decided to buy her a copy. She LOVES it. The great thing about `Where the Wild Things Are' is that it is written at the right level to engage them without over stimulating them. There are few words, and they are strung along across quite a few pages with some big illustrations. You don't have to linger on one particular page for too long, which is good because after a while of staring at the same picture my daughter starts to turn the pages for me. The illustrations are wonderfully done; the monsters (wild things) are goofy enough so as not to frighten the child (I read this to my daughter before bed every night, so I guess there's further proof). The illustrations, especially on the pages without words, are great ways to get your children involved in reading as well. There are a few pages in the center of the book that show Max and the Wild Things dancing and howling and swinging from the trees. It's at this point where I get my daughter to dance in the living room or howl at the ceiling. She loves it, and watching her get so excited over a book is such a genuine joy. Another thing I really like about the wording is that it has a very nice, poetic flow to it. It almost encourages a smooth tone in your voice. It's written in such an easy way that it sounds almost comforting. And of course it teaches children that no matter what, they are always loved. I completely recommend this book. It was a highlight of my childhood, and now it's a highlight for my little angel. I'm positive that you too will enjoy this book as a family. Another selling point is that they are currently filming the movie adaptation to this book, so getting your children interested in this now will only heighten their joy for the film when it is released. I'm hoping by then my daughter will be just as stoked as I am.
