Book Reviews of Where the Wild Things Are
Book Review: Lovely stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
This wonderful book was one of my childhood favourites as I have always identified with Max. Its simple yet evocative illustrations highlight the basic but beautiful story. It is a good book for anyone as its story is very simple but even adults will enjoy the wonderful ideas and masterful illustrations which went into its production. Please buy this as it is a timeless classic which I enjoyed and I hope you do too.
Book Review: A Story for the Ages
Summary: 5 Stars
My two sons absolutely loved this book. They liked the idea of going 'where the wild things are' and the book inspired a lot of play in our house. The book nicely balances the child's need for imaginative thinking with a sense of limits and the pleasures of home. The illustrations clearly make this book great, because they provide a launch pad for this imaginary place. This is one of a handful of books that will bond you with your child for the rest of your lives. Don't miss that opportunity!Unlike some children's books which are a little boring for the adults to read after the 350th time, I always enjoyed this one because I would think new thoughts each time I read it.
I think this is one of the best five books for children.
