I'm sure many of you are familiar with this book. I read this when I was a child and still have the book today. This book is written by Maurice Sendak and is a classic. If you have not read it, the synopsis of the book is about a young, naughty boy named Max who is sent to bed without his supper. He imagines sailing away to a land of Wild Things. It is in this land, where Max is made king. This book is creative and unique. It is also humorous and enjoyable for all ages. However, it is most recommended for ages 4-8. Below is a website with additional information about this author, along with other links to authors and books. Hope this is helpful!!

I love the illustrations of this book for some reason they remind me of Alexander and the Horrible No good very bad day. maybe because they have that sketched look to them and almost have a sense of texture. I can't wait to go see the movie it should be fun. Great book.

I love this book! The author really did a great job of illustrating how grand a childs imagination can be. The illustrations are just great, and this may sound crazy but the pictures look like you can feel them. I just read the books to my first graders,and it is a great picture book, that really allows you to go into depth with all of the illustrations.
