Where The Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak is a classic story from when I was a little girl. A little boy named Max ends up causing mischief in his household and being put to bed without dinner. His imagination run wild and he ends up in a jungle where he meets "The Wild Things." While becoming king of the Wild Things, Max ends up realizing how lonely he is. He journeys back home and ends up back home with food waiting for him. As a child I loved this book a lot. I remember thoroughly enjoying his imagination and connecting with his experiences from my dramatic play I conducted at that age. This is a great book to share with children to spark their imagination.

Wow, yesterday I felt like a WILD THING. I'm loving the idea of getting on a boat and traveling to a land where I can raise a wild rumpus then coming home. Thanks, Jennifer and Maurice!
ReplyDeleteI love how simple this book is, but how much there is to talk about. I always love to hear what students think happened, where exactly Max went, and why dinner was waiting for him when he returned. And the illustrations, of course, are perfect!
