Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Medal-winning picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. A must for every child's bookshelf. This iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. When Max dresses in his wolf suit and causes havoc in the house, his mother sends him to bed. From there, Max sets sail to an island inhabited by the Wild Things, who name him king and share a wild rumpus with him. But then from far away across the world, Max smells good things to eat... Let the wild rumpus continue as this classic comes to life like never before with new reproductions of Maurice Sendak's artwork. Astonishing state-of-the-art technology faithfully captures the color and detail of the original illustrations. Sendak himself enthusiastically endorsed this impressive new interpretation of his art. Mary Pols of Time magazine wrote that "what makes Sendak's book so compelling is its grounding effect: Max has a tantrum and in a flight of fancy visits his wild side, but he is pulled back by a belief in parental love to a supper 'still hot." Generations have shared this beautiful picture book, and children of all ages will want to return to it again and again. New York Public Library's #4 book on the list of "Top Check Outs of All Time" One of the National Education Association's "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children" The top picture book in School Library Journal's survey of its readers Maurice Sendak was also the creator of such classics as In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There , Higglety Pigglety Pop!, and Nutshell Library .
Maurice Sendak’s books have sold over 50 million copies and have been translated into more than 40 languages. He received the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are and is the creator of such classics as In the Night Kitchen , Outside Over There , Higglety Pigglety Pop! , and Nutshell Library . In 1970 he received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal for Illustration, in 1983 he received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award from the American Library Association, and in 1996 he received a National Medal of Arts in recognition of his contribution to the arts in America.

Great story for kids
A well known story and a great addition to our library.

これから楽しみです
安かったのでもっとペラペラを想像していましたが絵の印刷も綺麗で十分な感じの絵本でした。内容も年中〜年長さん向けな感じがしたので数年後本を破く心配が無くなったら子供と一緒に楽しむつもりです。

大人のほうが楽しい
子供の英語教材として購入しました。 画がみてるだけでも楽しいのですが、子供はあまり関心を示しませんでした。 大人のほうが読んでいて楽しかったです。 内容をどこまで読み込むかは、お子さんの性格によるでしょう。

原文で読むとなおいい
大好きなモーリスセンダックの絵本。図書館で久しぶりに見つけて、このくらいなら原文で子供たちに読み聞かせできそうだと、買ってみました。最近は洋書もリーズナブルな価格で買えるのですね。若干普段見慣れない英単語はありますが、それでも、とってもリズムが良く書かれているので、驚くほど読みやすい。どのページを開いてもワクワクする、名作だなと改めて実感しました。
