Where the Wild Things Are

Book • 1600

In this iconic children's book, Max, dressed in his wolf suit, causes chaos at home and is sent to bed without supper.

His bedroom transforms into a jungle, and he sails to an island where he encounters the Wild Things.

Max tames the creatures and becomes their king, but eventually returns home, missing his mother's love.

The book is praised for its honest treatment of children's emotions, particularly anger and the need for parental love.

It has been adapted into a movie and an opera and remains a beloved classic in children's literature.
