Work detailsWhere the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (1963)
My favorite book  Brifost | May 16, 2013 |  Oh please don't go- We'll eat you up- We love you so. The drawings of the creatures are very good. The colors could have been more and brighter though. (  ) Ciska_vander_Lans | May 15, 2013 | Max takes us on a nighttime adventure when his bedroom is transferred into a new world. We wild things while scary looking are not scary monsters. Together we learn there is no place like home. KristinPetersMoreno | May 14, 2013 | Caldecott winner, 1964 Max imagines a world in which Wild Thing Monsters make him king. Phill242 | May 6, 2013 | Winner of the Caldecott Medal and continued acclaim for decades, Where The Wild Things Are does not disappoint. From the illustration to the story and the undertones within the story it tells much more than just one child on an adventure. To me it teaches the child what the parents deal with on a daily basis, that children get more when they behave than when they don't. Use: Entertainment, Moral: In the end, you'll still need and want your parents. huertaen | May 5, 2013 |

| Haiku summary |
|
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 Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home.

A naughty little boy, sent to bed without his supper, sails to the land of the wild things where he becomes their king.
