 The movie does not even come closeJul 04, 2010
Ho sad that this classic combination of words and illustrations has fallen flat on the silver screen. Like most adaptations, Maurice Sendak's remarkable literary achievement is best suited to the vivid world of our own imagination rather than the feeble Hollywooding of yet another great work.
"Where the Wild Things Are" is a romp through a wonderland, a run through a scary forest and a complete captivation of the mind and all it can conjure. Whether this book is read aloud (and that should always be the first introduction) or re-read by the young person (or later "young" person)the world of unknown is brought to life in these pages. We find monsters of all kinds of shapes and sizes and colors. Some of them are new and some seem to be from the hidden places in our own minds. All of them, we discover, may not be as terrible as first imagined.
Grab a copy of this book. It is far too good to be borrowed. Like all good books, it must be owned and treasured.
Son's favorite "fond memories of childhood" bookJun 21, 2010
"Where the Wild Things Are" is a book I read to my now-39 year old son, Kyle, when he was a child. He still remembers this as his favorite childhood book. We were delighted to see on Amazon that it is still in print. I ordered the book to give to his son, Ezra, so his Dad can continue the family tradition.

I loved this book way before I was able to read it myself. My mom tells everyone the story of how I memorized the book before I knew how to read and used to sit and "read" the book to her. I still love the book and enjoy the unique illustrations.
Amazing BookJun 04, 2010
A book you can read and watch and never get tired of. Must look for the Gene Deitch animated version.

This is a classic that I think any child would enjoy. I buy it for my grandchildren.
