This book is arguably the most famous picture book of all
time, so there was no way that I’d consider leaving it off my list! When a naughty, misbehaving boy named Max
gets sent to bed with no dinner, he wishes himself off to a magical land where
the creatures are just and nasty and wild as he is. The beasts stomp and roar happily in a wild
circus…at least until Max starts to feel the slightest bit homesick!
This book is over fifty years old now, and it remains one of
the best-selling picture books of all time.
It might sound silly, but “Where the Wild Things Are” was actually
banned from several school libraries because parents feared it might encourage
their kids to misbehave! Thankfully
cooler heads have prevailed, and now it’d be nearly impossible to miss a copy
of this book. Check one out if you haven’t
already…it’s the perfect book for the wild things in your life!
