Where the Wild Things Are

The book tells the story of a young boy named Max who, dressed in his wolf costume, wreaks havoc through his house and is sent to bed without supper. Max's bedroom undergoes a mysterious transformation into a jungle environment, and he sails to an island inhabited by malicious beasts known as the 'Wild Things'. After successfully intimidating the creatures, Max is hailed as the king of the Wild Things and enjoys a playful romp with his subjects. However, he starts to feel lonely and decides to return home, to the bedroom where he finds his supper waiting for him, still hot. A beautiful retelling of the new movie based on the classic children's picture book. When Max runs away from his troubles at home, he finds himself in a mysterious forest filled with strange creatures - the land where the wild things are! When the wild things crown him their kind, he understands just how unpredictable life can be. Let the wild rumpus begin with this beautifully designed storybook, illustrated with stills from the movie. Created by McSweeney's, Dave Eggers' publishing company.
