Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak, was a staple of our reading material when my children were young. It is also one of my most favorite books. I have given each of my adult children their own copy. Hopefully they are reading it to my grandchildren. I was surprised to find it made into a movie recently, but disappointed to find that it is not appropriate for young children, as I wanted to take them all. I'll be going to see it soon.
But the wild things cried, "Oh please don't go - we'll eat you up - we love you so!" And Max said, "No!"
