This is a lovely book for children.
Max is naughty and is sent to bed...he becomes very upset with his mother and runs away...to where the wild things are.
He escapes into hi own world where he meets fantastic creatures who befriend him. He declares himself king and everybody listens to Max.
Children will love this book.
