Where the Wild Things Are By Maurice Sendak

I think all children know what it is to be a wild thing! But like the child in the book they decide that they really do want to come home. A delightful picture to read and perhaps discuss conflict between child and parent in a time of peace. We love to roar the terrible roars, gnash our teeth and roll our eyes together, as we read about where the wild things are.

Judi has a delightful sense of humour that appeals to adults and children. This means I am happy to read her books aloud many, many times. We have enjoyed this book by Judi Barrett as well as Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Animals Should Definitely Not Act Like People and I’m too small, you’re too big

Since I wrote this review, a movie adapted from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has been released. We haven’t seen it yet. Hopefully it will spark a greater interest in Judi Barrett’s picture books.
