Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


We've heard enough about this book and it's awards to want it for our kid's shelf. I was a little surprised when reading it for the first time, however. There is no punctuation in this book to speak of. The entire story is one long run on sentence. That alone is a little disorienting. Really, the artwork is the highlight of the tale. It is also amusing to think that this little human boy in a fox suit can so easily tame and rule all of these "Wild Things." I guess that just goes to prove the power of the imagination; especially that of a child. Overall it's a cute book, but I wouldn't say it's a favorite.
