Where the Wild Things Are

Where the Wild Things Are story and pictures by: Maurice Sendak CALDECOT



When Max is sent to his room one night without dinner because he was causing a ruckus in his wolf suit, his imagination takes over and transforms his room into an ocean and sends Max to a place where the wild things are.  Will his time there last, or was it all just a figment of his imagination?

This book would provide a good lesson to compare and contrast a story with the the movie version.  I think students would also be interested to read this story and act in out playing different roles (as I have done in a class before).  Being such a classic picture book, there are many easy ways to  find a method of incorporating it into the classroom.
