Where the Wild Things Are: Modern Fantasy, primary


Where the Wild Things Are, written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers
Pages: 46
Genre: Picture Book - Fantasy, Fiction
Rating: Thumbs Up!!
This is a story about Max and him creating problems as he is a monster around his home. He is eventually sent to his room by his mother and then dreams up a forest. In this forest he goes on a journey through the trees, vines and finally a boat - until he get to the forest. When he gets to the forest he meets monsters like himself and eventually becomes king. Then a strange and wonderful smell brings him back to reality- his supper.
The story is too cute and so I rated it a "Thumbs Up!!". I enjoy the artwork of the creator and the dreamlike look of all the drawings. The turn around in what snaps Max out of his dream world is also amusing to me.
