Monsters of Maurice Sendak became a classic. Winner of the Caldecott Medal in 1964 as "The Book of Distinguished year picture" was first used by Harper Collins, 1963 When the book was written, the question of the administration of the dark feelings was rare in children's literature, especially in the format picture book for children.

The Story

However, after over 50 years

what keeps Max and the Wild Things Are people not impact the book in the field of children's literature is the effect of the story and illustrations of young readers. The plot of the game is based on imagination (and real) consequences of the wickedness of a small child. One night, Max wearing his wolf suit and made all kinds of things he should not, like chasing the dog with a fork. His mother scolds him and calls him "WILD THING!" Max is so crazy screaming again: "I'm going to eat" As a result, sends his mother to his room without supper.

Max imagination will transform your room into an exceptional environment with a forest and a sea and a small sailing boat on Max, until it reaches a land of "Wild Things". Although she and seem very hard, Max is able to tame a glance. They are aware Max is "..the wildest of all things" and make their king. Max and Monsters is a good time to create a vortex begins to Max

want to be "... the best loved him from all someone." Max fantasy ends when you feel your dinner. Despite the protests of the Wild Things Are, Max returns to her room, where she found her waiting for dinner.

The call to book

This is a particularly attractive story, because Max is in conflict with his mother and his own anger. Despite the fact that he always gets angry when he is sent to his room, Max did not continue his crimes. Instead, he unleashes feelings of anger over his imagination, then took a decision to leave your anger that separates him from those he loves and would love.

Max is a lovable character. Their actions, chasing the dog to speak to his mother are realistic. Your emotions are realistic. It is very common for children to anger and to fantasize what they could do if they ruled the world and to calm down and think about the consequences. Max is easily identified 3-6 Years Child.
