  • Description

    One night Max puts on his wolf suit and makes mischief of one kind and another, so his mother calls him 'Wild Thing' and sends him to bed without his supper. That night a forest begins to grow in Max's room and an ocean rushes by with a boat to take Max to the place where the wild things are. Max tames the wild things and crowns himself as their king, and then the wild rumpus begins. But when Max has sent the monsters to bed, and everything is quiet, he starts to feel lonely and realises it is time to sail home to the place where someone loves him best of all.

    Great illustrations. Good story. Poor printing.

    I loved the illustrations. I bought it because of the illustrations. But when the book came in, it looked rather dull. Like it was stripped off its vibrancy. Its first edition was decades ago, so maybe the look of the book is deliberately on the duller side.

    Other than that a great buy! I have kept it aside to read it for my baby boy, when he grows older.

    Great Picture Book

    Got this book for my 4 yr old. She just loves it. The pictures are amazing even for a grown up. The best part about this story is that every time you read it, you'll find a new angle to interprete it. It can be a pure fun, learning lesson or just joy to your eyes. Highly Recommended for kids.

    A classic and must have in every library

    This is a brilliant book where we discovered Maurice Sendak. The pictures, the storyline and the imagination it feeds are mind blowing. Our child loves this book for the rumpus with those terrible things. It is good that Flipkart and the publishers have made available a more affordable paperback.
