Chatting Books Online Day 88. Today's recommended book: Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, is a multiple award winning picture book originally published in 1963.
Who knew that wearing a wolf suit and causing mischief could lead to a trip through weeks and a year to the land where the wild things live, a wild rumpus, being crowned a king, realizing what is really important, then travelling back through weeks and a year by boat , back to your bedroom and into the loving arms of your family and a still warm dinner? Well that is exactly what happens in this delightfully illustrated book.
Hardcover storybook, 48 pages. $ 18.95 a copy (until the ones I have are sold out at which time I see the publisher has raised the price to $19.95 on newly ordered copies).
