Books I Love/Two Old Women

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…
