Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the forty years since Max first cried "Let the wild rumpus start," Maurice Sendak's classic picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time.
Now, in celebration of this special anniversary, introduce a new generation to Max's imaginative journey to where the wild things are.
Review:
"Each word has been carefully chosen and the simplicity of the language is quite deceptive." School Library Journal
Synopsis:
Max, a wild and naughty boy, is sent to bed without his supper by his exhausted mother. In his room, he imagines sailing far away to a land of Wild Things. Instead of eating him, the Wild Things make Max their king. Caldecott Medal winner; ALA Notable Children's Book; New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book; Reading Rainbow Selection; The Horn Book Fanfare Honor List.

I have given this book to more children than I can count. It has never been out of print since it was published in the 60's. It is the masterwork of Maurice Sendak, the best children's book illustrator of all time.
