Booktopia Comments
Where the Wild Things Are is screening as a feature film this December in Australia, so take the opportunity to revisit the children's picture book where the story first began.

First published in 1963 Where the Wild Things Are has resonated with children around the world for generations. The story has not lost an ounce of its appeal, charm or relevance, the illustrations are as fresh and captivating as on the day they were first published and Max remains one of the great heroes of children's picture books.

There are three certainties for December 09 - the film Where the Wild Things Are will be a hit with children as old as 90, the book Where the Wild Things Are will hit the bestseller list, and there will be newborn babies the world over named Max.

Book Description

The much-loved favourite children’s bestseller in paperback

Originally published in 1963, it has become a much-loved favourite children's best-seller, and an acknowledged classic of 20th century children's picture books. Maurice Sendak said: "Max, the hero of my book, discharges his anger against his mother, and returns to the real world sleepy, hungry, and at peace with himself... from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustration as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things".
