Terrible Yellow Eyes

Book cover image from Amazon.

Where the Wild Things Are is a classic book for good reason.  The story is imaginative and adventurous, the artwork is eye-catching, and the premise probably resonates with a lot of kids who dream of escaping into some magical land where, instead of being too young or too little, they could be king (or queen) of a pretty fierce clan of followers. 

So here's a fun take-home story time activity for you to do.  First, read Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.  Even if you've already read it fifty thousand times.  Even if you've already seen the movie.  Even if you don't have a copy (you can borrow one from the library). 

And then, after you get done reading and soaking up the experience, check out this cool site that features nothing but post after post of amazing artwork inspired by Max's story. 

Keep reading!
