Where the Wild Things Are is the tale of Max and his wild adventure. He gets sent to his room for causing mischief. His room starts to turn into a forest and a private boat appears. Max rides it to the land where the wild things are. He becomes King and they all have a wild rumpus. He decides to go home in the end, to the place where he is loved best.
This story is highly popular for a reason. The drawings are wonderful and unique. The imagination of Max makes the story fun and exciting. I think it would help encourage children to be imaginative as well. I read this book to a little boy and he loved the monsters and wanted to read it over and over again. This is a must read.
