Where the Wild Things Are Maurice Sendak 8580001046631 Books Reviews

• I'm not going to lie, I am a 40-year-old and have never, ever read this book or had it read to me. I got this for my three-year-old daughter for 3rd bday, on behalf of my uncle who got it for her birthday. (He doesn't have a computer so I order his books.) I really enjoyed this book myself. It's very interesting. The drawings are amazing. The story is good/makes a point-has a subtle lesson. Maybe not for an older child but my daughter is 3yrs. She seems to understand it and likes it. She has requested read more than once at night. So in my book that makes it a winner.
• I remember this book from when I was in elementary school, and had to have a copy for our son and daughter. There are not too many books from early grade school that I remember, so I knew they would love this story too. My son is almost 20 now, but often asked for this one to be read to him before bed. Now, his four year old sister often makes the same request.
  
  This is a short story that focuses on the power of imagination, but also reinforces that there is a time and place for certain behaviors, the importance of respecting your mother, and that moms love you even when you don't show them that respect. This book opens the door for conversation on these topics, and you child can learn while enjoying the story.
• What is there to say? This is identical to the beloved book of my childhood. So happy to pass it on to my boys. I always identified personally with the little hero of this book because I was often sent to my room without any supper. So this little boy and I “hung out” quite a bit when I was younger. Good times. I have always been a huge fan of Maurice Sendak. And I love how, even though the monsters look a little scary, they never hurt the boy and the boy actually has full control over them (since he is imagining, anyway). So there is no real threat of young readers being very scared by the monsters in the book. Classic that should be in everyone’s library.
• This was the perfect addition to our library and to be used in our Wild One portrait session. The kids love reading it!
• Physically the book is nice came in great condition with no rips. The illustrations are beautiful. The big problem is the horrible translation to Spanish. Was very disappointed & would have returned it if possible. Better to just stick with the English.
• Never was a fan before. The author in interviews seems to be so full of himself, but this time was different. My 18 month old just loves this story. The growling monsters must be what got him! I say "Where the Wild Things Are" while driving, and he says "Rarrw" in response. The artwork is nice. Good quality book, for a paperback edition.
• A classic! Who doesn’t love “the most wild thing of the all.” I bought the book 3 times. Two copies were for foreign friends who had never heard of it and I wanted their kids to enjoy like my smiley does. One copy was for my kid’s 2nd grade classroom as a gift; all the kids signed it to the classroom library during their Wild Things Halloween party.
• I have no idea how this is a good book
