A review by thaurisil
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
3.0
I didn't get it. I just didn't get it. Sure, it's cute and the drawings are good, but is the book so remarkable that it's one of the best kids' books of all time?
When I have questions about books, Goodreads provides the answers. I guess I didn't enjoy it that much simply because nobody read it to me when I was young. If I was a little kid giggling in bed as my dad roared at me, I would love it. But I'm not. If I could read the book and remember the joyful fear I felt when I was a kid, I would love it. But I can't.
But I do like how the monsters look so friendly even as they threaten to eat Mike. It's still a nice book.
