Summary: Where the WIld Things Are
Comment: I have adored this story since I read it to my daughter many years ago and I try to pass that joy on to my friends when they have babies.

Summary: I Still Love This Book!
Comment: I've been in love with this book ever since I was a little kid, and still have my old, worn copy! (Maybe I should get a new one?) I always identified with Max, since I was a mischievous and imaginative child as well. The best pages are the ones where he goes on a wild rumpus with all the Wild Things, which are some of the most lovely and amazing creatures I've ever seen! I'll be interested to see whether the movie can possibly live up to the warm fuzzies I get any time I even think of this book.

Summary: ho hum...
Comment: hoping the movie is better.
think the book was written for someone MUCH younger.
having had the most dangerous job in the world for 30 years, the book was a LITTLE slow.
if I meet an interesting young boy, I will give him the book.
the idea from [in] the book is mind opening.
for a kid anyway.
having been shot 12 times, my mind was already opened too far.

Summary: Great book
