Where the Wild Things are
Maurice Sendak
The story of Max, who is so naughty the night he wears his wolf suit that he's sent to bed without any supper. In the night a whole land of forests and seas appears in Max's bedroom, and he sails away to the land where the wild things are.






Did you know that there's an opera by Oliver Knussen based on this book... visually it's very close to the illustrations...outstanding...just like the book,and when the monsters say 'we'll eat you up, we love you so' they sing in a sort of barbershop harmony! My kids used to watch this when they were tiny and be mesmerised...and the music is very chaotic...difficult...but they still enjoyed it.
Brilliant stuff - one of the best things to read to your young children (and to yourself!) I so want a wolf suit, just like Max.
