Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

Where the Wild Things Are (Caldecott Collection) (Puffin Picture Books) (Literature Kit)

by Maurice Sendak

When Max puts on his wolf suit and makes mischief, his mother calls him 'Wild Thing' and sends him to bed without any supper. Alone in his room, Max enters a magical world and sets sail across the sea to the place where the wild things are. The wild things roar their terrible roars and gnash their terrible teeth and roll their terrible eyes and show their terrible claws . . .

But Max tames the wild things and is made their king.

Will he ever want to go home?
