Where the Wild Things Are

Sendak, M. (1963). Where the Wild Things Are. New York, NY: Harper & Row.

 Very adventurous book. Max felt empowered with his wolf suit and began to act “wild” getting into trouble, even going to bed without dinner. His imagination began flowing and his bedroom soon began looking like a jungle. Soon he rides on boat to island full of wild things. They began to obey him and treat him like a king. They did as he wished, played together, and even left them without dinner. He soon realized that he missed his home and wanted to be surrounded with people that loved him. So, he embarked his journey back to his bedroom and to his surprise his supper was still hot. 

This fiction book makes great use of the illustrations and story elements. The characters traits and personification of the characters makes this book very interesting.
