Where the Wild Things Are Review
User Submitted Where the Wild Things Are ReviewsSeptember 1, 2008 Where The Wild Things Are - For Two Generations This was my son's favorite book when they were toddlers and I loved reading it to hem. I just purchased again for my 5 month old grandson. This book helps children tap into their personal power within through the use of likeable imaginative monsters. Ce Ce August 25, 2008 Terrible...roars, teeth, eyes, claws! Super fun for little boys! Sometimes we just can't seem to settle down before bed. During those times, I reach for "Where the Wild Things Are" so that my two sons can roar their terrible roars and gnash their terrible teeth and roll their terrible eyes and show their terrible claws. The book is short -- perfect for bedtime reading -- and very interactive. The story follows Max and his wild imagination to a magical land. I use the book to reinforce in my sons that they need to settle down in the evening and not get into the type of mischief Max falls into. This is a great addition to your bedtime reading collection. July 26, 2008 One of my favorites I loved this book as a child, so I bought it for my 4 year old. I had forgotten how great it is. It's truely a spectacular little adventure. Not too long to even read two or three times...you know how four year olds are... July 24, 2008 This was my favorite as a child :) This one is a classic, of course. Chances are that you remember it from your own childhood, what more is there to say? My nieces love this one. It's not too wordy, so it's great for very little children and for those nights where you really want everybody in bed five minutes ago! But the words that are there are perfectly selected, nothing is missing. Lyrical is the word I'd use. And the story about Max having his time-out and repenting (or, for that matter, his mother changing her mind about her over-reaction) is one that most children can relate to, I think. July 6, 2008 Wild! If you want something really wild read the Adventures With Boys series! It's as good as this book! July 3, 2008 Favorite Kid Book! This was my one of my favorite kid books that I loved! However, just seeing the cover again reminds me how it scared me a little. It didn't stop me from enjoying the story. I still have the tattered version in my store room. I have purchased it as gifts too and the kids love it! Merna Pocket of Pearls: A 30-day pocket workbook to start hearing a softer voice inside of you! July 3, 2008 "And it was still Hot!" The last line in this great book is "...and it was still hot", and it is! I first read this book in a Children's Literature class in college (which was taught by our county's wonderful head Children's Librarian); I used it for my picture book presentation. I later over the next few years told it at different events as an "oral tradition" style presentation, which goes to show you how well it is written. The other thing is the wonderful illustrations. For those of you that aren't familiar with children's lit, the gold medal on the front of the book is the Caldecott Award for Excellence in Picture books. You can hardly go wrong picking up any book so designated and give to a child. I read this to all my kids and now grandkids and they have all loved it, And my sweetheart has taught Kindergarten this whole decade and read this to every class, and they all continue to love it every time! June 18, 2008 Wild things are not under the bed His mother called him "WILD THING!" Max is sent to bed without eating anything. He sails off into a far away land where is becomes the King of the wild things. As a child, I was afraid of what could be under the bed or in the closet. My mom used to read this book to me and told me that there are no monsters under the bed or in the closet and that I have to sail to far away land to see one. As a dad, I read this book in the same message. Some criticize this book as being too scary for little one I think it's a good way of showing that there is nothing to fear. Besides these monsters are almost adorable compared to what kids see at a shopping center The illustrations have become such a classic that almost every kids monster characters can be trace back to this. From the opening of the page kids will feel like there is something familiar about it and be drawn in. The story ends with Max returning to find his supper waiting for him. A nice touch to show mothers love. June 2, 2008 Good Book My kids at preschool love this story and they listen to it almost everyday before taking a nap. I bought the DVD as well and they love it also. May 30, 2008 Fantastic! My 2 year old absolutely loves reading this book. Some of the illustrations are dark and could be seen as scary to some, but my kid adores this book, and always runs to this one to pull it off the shelf!
