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.
