This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I really enjoyed this book。 It is a fantasy about a young boy who argues with his mother and is sent to bed without dinner。 His room transforms to a forest and he finds a boat and sails away to an area with many monster type creatures where he becomes king。 When he becomes king he realizes it's not easy to be in charge and gains a new respect for his mother and the decisions she had to make because she is in charge in of him。 It a great story for elementary students。 I would highly recommend it。 I really enjoyed this book。 It is a fantasy about a young boy who argues with his mother and is sent to bed without dinner。 His room transforms to a forest and he finds a boat and sails away to an area with many monster type creatures where he becomes king。 When he becomes king he realizes it's not easy to be in charge and gains a new respect for his mother and the decisions she had to make because she is in charge in of him。 It a great story for elementary students。 I would highly recommend it。 。。。more

This story is about a boy named Max， who is misbehaving and is sent to his room without supper。 His room turned into a new world and he sailed to find other wild things like him。 He became their king and held a party。 When everyone went to sleep， he left to go be with people who love him; so， he went home and found his supper waiting for him。 The illustrations were very dull and neutral colors and， in my opinion， I find that kids enjoy books with more color and more pop to them。 I just was not i This story is about a boy named Max， who is misbehaving and is sent to his room without supper。 His room turned into a new world and he sailed to find other wild things like him。 He became their king and held a party。 When everyone went to sleep， he left to go be with people who love him; so， he went home and found his supper waiting for him。 The illustrations were very dull and neutral colors and， in my opinion， I find that kids enjoy books with more color and more pop to them。 I just was not impressed with this book at all and I know it has been used for years。 I guess I expected more from it knowing it has been used forever。 。。。more

Where the wild things is a fun book for kids because the drawings are very fun。 This book shows young kids that they should be grateful for what they have because Max wanted to go back home after having fun。 He realized that he wanted to home more than he wanted to have fun in the wild。 This is a very creative book and could be fun to incorporate in any classroom。

Great illustrations but my favorite picture books are the ones that has a deeper meaning or maybe the meaning of this book went over my head。 A boy was creating a ruckus one night。 So the mother send him to his room without his supper。 Then， his room turns into a magical land where the boy had a lot of fun being the king of the wild things。 But after a while he grew tired and left that land and returned home， finding his supper， still hot， waiting for him。 That's what I don't get。 Wasn't he bein Great illustrations but my favorite picture books are the ones that has a deeper meaning or maybe the meaning of this book went over my head。 A boy was creating a ruckus one night。 So the mother send him to his room without his supper。 Then， his room turns into a magical land where the boy had a lot of fun being the king of the wild things。 But after a while he grew tired and left that land and returned home， finding his supper， still hot， waiting for him。 That's what I don't get。 Wasn't he being punished at the beginning of the book？ Why does he still get his supper at the end？ 。。。more

This book has really nice illustrations and they really capture what is happening in the story。 It involves the use of imagination which I really like as well and I think it would work well as a read-aloud in a classroom grades 1st-4th。 There are quite a few pages where there are only pictures but they serve a purpose so I do not see anything wrong with that。 A must have book in my future classroom。

Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are， is a brilliant text to read to a Kindergarten class。 Not only is the text amazing but the expressive illustrations are a great way to captivate students’ attention。 The message the author promotes here of unconditional love， a message that even if one misbehaves， there will be supper waiting on the table。 The main character ， Max does get sent to his room， but no matter how much he has misbehaved， his mother will always love and cherish him。 This messa Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are， is a brilliant text to read to a Kindergarten class。 Not only is the text amazing but the expressive illustrations are a great way to captivate students’ attention。 The message the author promotes here of unconditional love， a message that even if one misbehaves， there will be supper waiting on the table。 The main character ， Max does get sent to his room， but no matter how much he has misbehaved， his mother will always love and cherish him。 This message is only one of many throughout the book but for a kindergarten class the theme of freedom could be seen throughout the book in relating towards the feeling of Max being under adult supervision most of the time。 This book allows him to have freedom in the magical land with many different adventurous creatures ！ Surely a great book to read and allow students to connect to the words and illustration in the book。 This would be a great book for a read aloud leading into an open conversations and journal entry。 。。。more

I thought this was a good book on misbehaving。 As Max had seen for himself and reflected oh is actions， he realized how he had been acting as in the end he apologizes and receives his supper， a story of forgiveness。

This book is a cute book about a kid and monsters。 There was mostly pages with pictures but not many words。 I think it is a good book for students to think of their own meaning of the story。 As a college student reading this book， I think it could be interpreted in a different way than a child would。

This picture story book is titled Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak in which the main character is a young boy named Max who loved to make mischief and wear his wolf suit。 His mother called him a “wild thing” and a forest grew in his room that night。 While in the forest， Max traveled on a boat to the place where all of the wild things live。 Max was able to tame the wild things and soon became their King。 I would use this story in a second grade lesson because I think it would be more a This picture story book is titled Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak in which the main character is a young boy named Max who loved to make mischief and wear his wolf suit。 His mother called him a “wild thing” and a forest grew in his room that night。 While in the forest， Max traveled on a boat to the place where all of the wild things live。 Max was able to tame the wild things and soon became their King。 I would use this story in a second grade lesson because I think it would be more age appropriate for that group rather than kindergarten or first grade due to possible scary scenes。 I really enjoyed this book and its illustrations were phenomenal。 。。。more

Did not care for the pictures。 I will read this book to enhance the children's imagination。 I will have the children share their views about Max。 Did not care for the pictures。 I will read this book to enhance the children's imagination。 I will have the children share their views about Max。 。。。more
