Where the Wild Things Are- Teacher Journal


I know this may sound crazy, but this was my first time ever reading Where the Wild Things Are! If I would have read this as a kid, I know it would have been one of my favorite childhood books.  I found this story to be very relatable to children because most kids get sent to their room at least once in their lives without being able to eat dinner, I know I have!  I love Max’s imagination and how when he meets all the wild creatures and gets them to be tame by looking them in the eyes.  Even though there are not many words on the page, the illustrations are so detailed that as you are reading this book you are able to use your own imagination to interpret things how you want too.
