Max, a wild and naughty boy, is sent to bed without his supper by his exhausted mother. However, while in his room he imagines sailing far away to a land of Wild Things, and once there instead of eating him, they make Max their king!
One of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time, Where the Wild Things Are is a must-have for every child's bookshelf.
“A timeless classic that continues to win over the hearts of children. The simple, rhythmic text has been carefully chosen and the simplicity of the language is quite deceptive, combined with expressive illustrations that are just as appealing today as they were in childhood." -- School Library Journal
