He sails across to where the wild things are and encounters terrible monsters. But when the growl at him, he growls back so feircly they make him king of the wild things.

Readers who will like this: Students with great imaginations. Students who often get sent to timeout.
Response/rating: 4 I don’t think I’ve ever actually read this book, and I had so much fun doing so. I loved how Sendak portrayed little Max and Max’s wonderful imagination. I love the message it sends about imagination and escape as well as the importance of being home.
