You probably already read this book and own it in your library OR used to own
it when you are younger, haha.
BUT for those who never read this book before,
it is about a boy named Max who gets in trouble for well, just being your average little boy... hahaha. Anyways, his mom sends him to bed without supper. In his room, his imagination takes over and he travels to his own little world (AKA where the wild things are). He becomes their king and goes on exploring the forest but eventually he gets lonely and homesick so he returns to his room (or comes back to reality) where he finds a warm supper waiting for him in his room.
I personally LOVE this book because I love how it portrays just how vivid and wild children's imaginations are. I also LOVE how it portrays a mother's love for her child.
Makes me think back to my own childhood and reminds me of how when I got in trouble by my mom, she NEVER failed to show me she still loved me (even when I decided to prank call the police to report a naughty little sister and had them come to our apartment.... ahahah).
Anyways!
If you're going to a baby shower or have a little child in your life, this book must be part of their book collection!!
