The acclaimed "children's" book that long preceded the film.

"For every person who lost their inner child of innocence and adventure and a pure heart, this story will find it. Charming and perfect for those who can dream."

"This is definitely in the top ten of all time greatest children's picture books. We all have had that place of imagination as a child, where we go "where the wild things are". The drawings are so incredibly original and memorable. Even after so many years, the effect of the book to all children does not diminish one bit. We all, boys and girls alike, can relate to the main character Max's adventure, as he goes to explore the "other side" and quickly declares himself king. If you watch enough movies, read enough stories, you will somehow always return to the universal essence of this book, that of innocence, risk, escapism and the appreciation of your loved ones."

"My sister and I read this book countless times as children growing up. Our copies now reflect the thousands of times the pages were turned. I bought the paper back copy of the book for my nephew before he was born so that my sister could start reading it to him. Now he is four and I decided to get him the hard copy for him to have and enjoy as well. He is now four years old and absolutely enjoys having the story read to him every night."

"My two sons absolutely loved this book. They liked the idea of going 'where the wild things are' and the book inspired a lot of play in our house. The book nicely balances the child's need for imaginative thinking with a sense of limits, and the pleasures of home. The illustrations clearly make this book great, because they provide a launch pad for this imaginary place. This is one of a handful of books that will bond you with your child for the rest of your lives. Don't miss that opportunity!

Unlike some children's books which are a little boring for the adults to read after the 350th time, I always enjoyed this one because I could think new thoughts each time I read it."
