This Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home. Sendak's defiantly run-on sentences-one of his trademarks-lend the perfect touch of stream of consciousness to the tale, which floats between the land of dreams and a child's imagination. The wild things-with their mismatched parts and giant eyes-manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary at times they're downright hilarious. Sendak's color illustrations (perhaps his finest) are beautiful, and each turn of the page brings the discovery of a new wonder.

If you disagree, then it's been too long since you've attended a wild rumpus. Where the Wild Things Are is one of those truly rare books that can be enjoyed equally by a child and a grown-up.
