History

But after more than 50 years, where the Wild Things are popular the impact of the work in the field of children's literature, the impact of the story and illustrations of young readers.

The plot of the game is based on (and real) imaginary bad effects of a small child. One night, Max Wolf carries his suit and made all sorts of things you should not, such as hunting with the dog with a fork. His mother scolds him and calls him a "Wild Thing!" Max is so crazy screaming again: "I'm going to eat" Consequently, his mother sends him to his room without supper.

Max imagination transformed his room in an exceptional environment, with sea and forest and a small sailboat on Max, until it reached a land of "Wild Things". Despite its appearance, and very hard, Max is able to tame a glance. Take all Max is "..the wildest of all," and make him their king.

The book entitled

This is a particularly attractive story, because Max is in conflict with his mother and his own anger. Although he always angry when he sent in his room, Max did not continue his antics. Instead, there are no limits to their feelings of anger about his imagination, then to make a decision that is not going to let his anger separates him from those he loves and who love him, it comes.

Max is a lovable character. Their actions to follow the dog to you are to speak to his mother realistic. Your emotions are also realistic. It is very common for children to tease and fantasize about what you could do if you ruled the world and to calm down and think about the consequences. Max is the easily identified 3-6 years child.

Summarize

In summary, the Wild Things Are is an excellent book. What makes a book so extraordinary is the creative imagination of Maurice Sendak, both writer and artist Maurice Sendak. (To learn more about it, see my article of the art and the influence of Maurice Sendak) .The text and pictures complement each other that are perfect along the history. The transformation of Max's room a forest is a visual delight. The illustrations in pen and ink color Sendak are in soft colors at the same time humorous and sometimes a little scary what both the imagination of Max and his anger. The issues of conflict and the characters are those with whom readers can identify all ages. I also know from personal experience that it hear a book that children can enjoy again and again.
