This book, written in 1963, has been in our family for near to 30 years in its original hardcover edition! It's been passed down, from my oldest at 32 to my youngest, now 8. Each child had their own reasons for loving it, and my tattered (but still good enough for grandkids) copy carries scribbles and memories from each of my sons. Max is so mad at his mother one evening, when she puts him in his room, he sails off for a year, venturing out where the wild things are - huge, strange looking creatures with terrible eyes and terrible claws, who dance by the light of the moon. Max handles them all, shouting "BE STILL" until they are so frightened, they agree he's the most wild thing of all. He goes home in time to eat the supper (the cause of his anger), which is still warm. The illustrations, colored sketches by Maurice Sendak, invite the imagination of children who might just like a good tale. For kids who are beginning to express their anger (from 2 to 5), this book is a safe expression of just how *mad* a child can get, and how they can control those wild feelings! The words are few, and some pages are filled with nothing but Max and the Wild Things, after "the wild rumpus begins." If you like this book, get it in hardcover. It will be read so many times, you'll be glad you did! Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
