Short on text, long on imagination
Charles A. - 5 years 8 months agoWhile there is not a lot of text in this book, it is more than made up for with a lot of imagination. Max is a boy wearing a wolf suit and that evening he has been particularly difficult. So bad that he is sent to bed without his supper. His reaction is to “leave” his bed and travel over the ocean to a place where there are many wild creatures. They have horns, sharp claws and fierce expressions. Yet, they enjoy playing so they join Max in howling at the moon, hanging from trees and generally doing playful monster things. However, despite the fun they have with monsters, little boys enjoy being with other people. Therefore, when Max smells something good, he says goodbye to his monster friends, and sails back to his home. When he arrives, he discovers his supper in his room. Furthermore, despite the extent of his adventures, it is still hot. The charm of this book is the dilemma that a naughty, yet imaginative child has to cope with. For no matter where he can go in the virtual sense, there is no place like home with a hot meal.

A boy's epic adventure to where the wild things are
irene s. - 5 years 10 months ago#BannedBooks Amazing that this book was once banned. It is an awarded classic! A boy travels to an island by boat and meets the wild things. He is crowned king and has an epic adventure. Don't we all ever wished to have an adventure like this when we were kids?

Imagination!
Brandi B. - 6 years 2 months agoMy favorite book as a kid and adult! The movie and novel adaptation are ok, more depressing than anything. But definitely a good book to spark imagination! #SummerReading
