Where The Wild Things Are Here

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is a classic children's picture book that tells the story of a young boy named Max who sails to a magical island inhabited by large, frightening creatures. After being sent to bed without dinner, Max imagines a forest growing in his room, travels to the land of the "wild things," and is crowned king, leading them in a "wild rumpus". Eventually longing for home and love, he returns to his room to find his supper waiting, still warm.
