A must for every child's bookshelf.</strong></p><p>This iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. When Max dresses in his wolf suit and causes havoc in the house, his mother sends him to bed. From there, Max sets sail to an island inhabited by the Wild Things, who name him king and share a wild rumpus with him. But then from far away across the world, Max smells good things to eat...</p><p>Let the wild rumpus continue as this classic comes to life like never before with new reproductions of Maurice Sendak's artwork. Astonishing state-of-the-art technology faithfully captures the color and detail of the original illustrations. Sendak himself enthusiastically endorsed this impressive new interpretation of his art. </p><p>Mary Pols of <em>Time</em> magazine wrote that what makes Sendak's book so compelling is its grounding effect: Max has a tantrum and in a flight of fancy visits his wild side, but he is pulled back by a belief in parental love to a supper 'still hot. Generations have shared this beautiful picture book, and children of all ages will want to return to it again and again.</p><p><ul><li>New York Public Library's #4 book on the list of Top Check Outs of All Time</li><li>One of the National Education Association's Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children</li><li>The top picture book in <em>School Library Journal's </em>survey of its readers </li></ul></p><p></p><p>Maurice Sendak was also the creator of such classics as <em>In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There</em>, <em>Higglety Pigglety Pop!, </em>and <em>Nutshell Library</em>.<br/></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> <p>Fiftieth Anniversary Edition</p><p>Winner of the Caldecott Medal</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Each word has been carefully chosen and the simplicity of the language is quite deceptive."--School Library Journal </br></br>"The clearer reproductions of the original art are vibrant and luminous."--The Horn Book </br></br>"A timeless classic that continues to win over the hearts of children.
