SynopsisMaurice Sendak's Caldecott Medal-winning picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. A must for every child's bookshelf. This iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. When Max dresses in his wolf suit and causes havoc in the house, his mother sends him to bed. From there, Max sets sail to an island inhabited by the Wild Things, who name him king and share a wild rumpus with him. But then from far away across the world, Max smells good things to eat... Let the wild rumpus continue as this classic comes to life like never before with new reproductions of Maurice Sendak's artwork. Astonishing state-of-the-art technology faithfully captures the color and detail of the original illustrations. Sendak himself enthusiastically endorsed this impressive new interpretation of his art. Mary Pols of Time magazine wrote that "what makes Sendak's book so compelling is its grounding effect: Max has a tantrum and in a flight of fancy visits his wild side, but he is pulled back by a belief in parental love to a supper 'still hot." Generations have shared this beautiful picture book, and children of all ages will want to return to it again and again.

A staple of my childhood
This book is an awesome mixture of childhood memories and nostalgia that causes me to reminence on the freedom and ease of being a child. Being able to imagine a whole world of my own is something that has been lost to me for ahwile now, no longer can i get lost in my own thought or my own world. This book is a good reminder to never lose your inner child and to never give up your creativity. The main character of the book is a child who is still in his pro-operational stages, he is able to still dive deep into his imagination and have all the fun in the world playing by himself. Yet, he is also able to comprehend room models and layouts, hes able to remember where specific spots where the wild things live and then also his own house. A great book that shows deep thought into the story and the charecters.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
