Where the wild things are

The story of Max’s adventures when he sails away to the land where the Wild Things are
Maurice Sendak’s children’s picture book has become an acknowledged classic. A winner of the Caldecott Medal for the Most Distinguished Picture Book of the Year in 1964, Where the Wild Things Are is a timeless masterpiece that can be enjoyed equally by children and grown-ups.
Where the Wild Things changed children’s books forever. The illustrations are dreamlike, the writing style simple, yet imaginative and delightfully atypical. It is a timeless classic; a book to be read and re-read every night of the week, a book to be enjoyed and cherished.
This wonderful fantasy is ideal for four to eight-year-olds that will not, despite some reviews, scare children. It is simple and it is beautiful, featuring verse as lyrical as the following extract:
and he sailed off through night and day
and in and out of weeks
and almost over a year
to where the wild things are
Where the Wild Things Are will allow children’s imaginations to soar and will continue to delight them for at least another 40 years.
