When Max is sent to bed early, he lets his imagination run wild...

After Max causes trouble in his house, his mother sends him to bed without any supper. But Max soon uses his imagination to escape to the land of the Wild Things, where he is crowned their king.

If you're a parent who remembers reading this classic tale as a child, then this would be a great book to introduce to your own kids.

Children will enjoy hearing this exciting story and finding out where Max's wild imagination takes him,.

There are also lots of great illustrations of the different Wild Things from Maurice that kids will enjoy as well.

There's also a lot of appeal for parents as well, as they will appreciate the book's lesson for kids that their parents will always love them, no matter what.

Overall this is a classic story from a talented author, and a perfect choice to share with your own wild things.
