A Good Read - Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things Are is one of those books that can be enjoyed equally by a child as well as a grown-up. The main character, Max, dons his wolf suit in pursuit of some mischief and gets sent to bed without supper. A forest grows in his room, allowing his wild rampage to continue. 


Sendak's colour illustrations are awesome. With mismatched parts & giant eyes, the wild things manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary. A note of caution: Sendak uses some defiantly run-on sentences. A great read for pre-school kids. There's an audio book version available too.
