Where the Wild Things Are

by Maurice Sendak

When Max puts on his wolf suit and shouts at his mother, he is sent to his room without any supper. His bedroom turns into a magical world where he sets sail across the sea to where the wild things are and becomes King of the Wild Things.

First published in 1963 this classic picture book still holds a fascination for children and adults, evoking the fierce intensity of childhood, conveyed by Sendak's atmospheric illustrations.
