Where the Wild Things Are

Sendack, Maurice. (1963). Where the Wild Things Are. New York: HarperCollins.


Its just about dinner time, but Max gets into some trouble after being mischievious.  His mother calls him Wild Thing and sends him to his room without dinner.  Using his wild imagination, Max creates his own world.  Pretending his room is a forest and going off on a boat in the ocean, Max travels to a world where the wild things are. He pretended to be the most wild thing and every wild thing was frightened of him and so he became king. They jumped, made wild noises and swang from trees. But Max felt lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him.  He gave up being king and sailed back to his own room where dinner was waiting for him.

This book can help intrigue student’s to put their creative imagination into writing.
