Books I Love/Where The Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak is the illustrator and author of this wonderful children’s book, the 1964 winner of the Caldecott Most Distinguished Picture Book of the Year.
I love the little boy Max and his fantastical journey to the land where the Wild Things are. I love how very wild Max and the Wild Things are and yet how vulnerable. The words and truths of Where The Wild Things Are transcend childhood to inspire adult readers as well.
Blessings!

I remember how much I dreaded reading some books over and over to my children, but you’re right! “Where the Wild Things Are” just doesn’t lose it’s magic!
My husband and I also grew up loving this book so, naturally, my son does as well. It’s funny how much I still enjoy reading these treasures from my childhood and when my son asks to hear them over and over again, I don’t mind at all!
