Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak has become a classic. Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal as the "Most Distinguished Picture Book of the Year," it was first published by HarperCollins in 1963.
However, after more the 40 years, what keeps
Where the Wild Things Are popular is
the creative imagination of both Maurice Sendak the writer and Maurice Sendak the artist. The text and the artwork complement one another, moving the story along seamlessly.
Max is sent to bed without supper and imagines sailing away to the land of Wild Things, where he is made king.
The wild things - with their mismatched parts and giant eyes - manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary. Sendak's defiantly run-on sentences - one of his trademarks - lend the perfect touch of stream of consciousness to the tale, which floats between the land of dreams and a child's imagination.
This Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home.
