Where The Wild Things Are!

I love this book and I know that Rachel Max's big sister loves it too. When i went to visit her in New York she had brought Max A cuddly 'Max' from the story. I remember thinking then how alike our Max is to max in the story particularlly when he was a little boy. I wish I was clever enough to scan in pictures to this story too but Im not. If anyone is and can do so i would be really happy. This is one of my favourite child hood books I hope you enjoy it too.

Where The Wild Things Are By Maurice Sendak

The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another his mother called him "Wild Thing" and Max said "i'll eat you up" so he was sent to bed without eating anything.

That very night in Max's room a forest grew and grew and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max and he sailed off through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are.

And when he came to the terrible place where the wild things are they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws till Max said "Be still" and tamed them back with the magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all and made him king of all wild things. "And now" cried Max, "Let the rumpus start!"

"Now Stop" Max said and sent the wild things off to bed with out thier supper. And Max the king of all the wild things was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all. Then all around from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat so he gave up being king of where the wild things are.

But the wild things cried, "Oh Please Dont Go" we'll eat you up we love you so!" And Max said "NO!"

The wild things roared thier terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled thier terrible eyes and showed thier terrible claws but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye and sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting for him.
