Where The Wild Things Are

But the wild things cried, “Oh please don’t go – we’ll eat you up – we love you so!”

This is an all-time classic and special favourite of mine. Where The Wild Things Are, goes down in history as one of the greatest books written for children. I love this book!

We follow Max on a journey of adventure and intrigue, where he learns to look his fears in eye, stand up for himself and conquer his fears. Your child’s imagination will expand with Max’s.

The Where the Wild Things Are book is an absolute must for your bookshelf!

Special note: My 12-year-old niece thinks this book would be more appealing to boys than girls.
