The clearer reproductions of the original art are vibrant and luminous [in this edition]. -- H. Reader Reviews Average Reader Review: Number of Reviews: 3 1. Where the Wild Things Are Reviewer: Tara Pack from Toronto (tarapack@realnet.ca) Date: 11/17/2000 10:38:23 AM Although this is a children's book, it has been and always will be one of my favorites. I think for children and adults alike it allows the exploration of imagination. You can relate to Max's desire to escape to where he is King, where he can do anything he likes and to not have to give into rules. It reminds us that we all have a little bit of wildness in us while at the sametime reminding us that when all is said and done home is still where we like to be. :) 2. Where the Wild Things Are Reviewer: Liz Daley from Waterloo Date: 11/8/2000 11:24:10 PM I can remember having this read to me as a kid. It was by far my favourite story. I must have checked it out of the library at least 100 times. Max's adventures give children a taste of the extraordinary...a necessity in a world dominated by the reality of money and material things. I want a copy to be able to read to my children one day so as to share part of my childhood with them. 3. Where The Wild Things Are Reviewer: Karen Reid from Mississauga, Ontario Date: 11/5/2000 9:38:02 AM This is a classic story...a definate must read! Every child loves Max's adventures!
