Sendak, M., & Sendak, M. (1963). Where the Wild Things Are. New York, NY: Harper & Row.
This enchanting tale is about a mischievous little boy, Max, who has a great imagination that creates a magical place where the monsters roam. At first, Max sees the monsters roaring and clawing for him, and it's at that time Max does a trick to settle the monsters. The monsters believed him to be a powerful little monster and crowned him king of where the wild things are. Max and the monsters enjoy a good amount of rumpus and fun, but Max begins to get homesick and wishes to go back home to the people who love him. Can Max leave or will the monsters make him stay?
This is an older story and no matter how old the reader is the story will always provide a great sense of entertainment. The pictures done by Maurice Sendak really brings the story to life, and I like how he created different types of media to show the different kinds of trees. This is really a good story by far.
