Where the Wild Things Are

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: Imagination is a will power! - One of its kind book which teaches "How to make kids aware of the dark, daring, wild thing is not bad at all but we need to cautious". This is the story about boy named Max and how did he turn his room into jungle with his wild imagination and played all night ,feel the difference being alone and out of his home. Wonderful concept to let kid have his/her own imagination to build another such beautiful story because while reading i myself experience my childhood imagination for where,how and what things can be turn out. A must buy for all kids. The picture in the book make more imaginative how things will turn in story and very few words make it easy to kids understand. Review: Where the wild things are is where the simple joy is - It's a book I keep handy by on my worktable. On Monday mornings or grueling Wednesday afternoons, I love to flip through this simple magical story of a little boy who one day finds a jungle growing in his room. The illustration is too sweet! It has this parchment on which a tiny fantasy has been embroidered. Good stuff!
