Favorite Kid Book! July 3, 2008
This was my one of my favorite kid books that I loved! However, just seeing the cover again reminds me how it scared me a little. It didn't stop me from enjoying the story. I still have the tattered version in my store room.
I have purchased it as gifts too and the kids love it!

"And it was still Hot!" July 3, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
The last line in this great book is "...and it was still hot", and it is!
I first read this book in a Children's Literature class in college (which was taught by our county's wonderful head Children's Librarian); I used it for my picture book presentation. I later over the next few years told it at different events as an "oral tradition" style presentation, which goes to show you how well it is written. The other thing is the wonderful illustrations.
For those of you that aren't familiar with children's lit, the gold medal on the front of the book is the Caldecott Award for Excellence in Picture books. You can hardly go wrong picking up any book so designated and give to a child.
I read this to all my kids and now grandkids and they have all loved it,
And my sweetheart has taught Kindergarten this whole decade and read this to every class, and they all continue to love it every time!
Wild things are not under the bed June 18, 2008
His mother called him "WILD THING!" Max is sent to bed without eating anything. He sails off into a far away land where is becomes the King of the wild things.
As a child, I was afraid of what could be under the bed or in the closet. My mom used to read this book to me and told me that there are no monsters under the bed or in the closet and that I have to sail to far away land to see one. As a dad, I read this book in the same message.
Some criticize this book as being too scary for little one I think it's a good way of showing that there is nothing to fear. Besides these monsters are almost adorable compared to what kids see at a shopping center
The illustrations have become such a classic that almost every kids monster characters can be trace back to this. From the opening of the page kids will feel like there is something familiar about it and be drawn in.
The story ends with Max returning to find his supper waiting for him. A nice touch to show mothers love.
Good Book June 2, 2008
My kids at preschool love this story and they listen to it almost everyday before taking a nap. I bought the DVD as well and they love it also.
Fantastic! May 30, 2008
My 2 year old absolutely loves reading this book. Some of the illustrations are dark and could be seen as scary to some, but my kid adores this book, and always runs to this one to pull it off the shelf!
