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.
