Summary: This is a story about a little boy named Max. Max gets into all sorts of mischief. His mother yells that he is a wild thing, and sends Max to bed without supper. When Max goes to bed that night, his room suddenly begins to transform. He ended up in a world of the wild things, and he had fun being the king of the wild things. In the end, the wild things get too wild, and Max tells them to stop. He sails back to the world of his bedroom, where his supper is waiting for him, still hot.
Evaluation: I really enjoyed reading Where the Wild Things Are, as I have never read it before. I love the aspect of adventure that the book brings to life. The illustrations are filled with texture and dimension, making them very appealing and fun to look at for children. The world that is created by Max's imagination shows children that using their own imagination can be a lot of fun.
Rating: I would give this book 5/5 stars.
This is such a classic book. Kids really like looking through the illustrations in this book and it has such a positive, imaginative message!
