Now, in celebration of this special anniversary, introduce a new generation to Max’s imaginative journey to Where the Wild Things Are.
Max is sent to bed without supper and imagines sailing away to the land of Wild Things, where he is made king. He soon finds himself lonely and homesick and returns home to his bedroom where he finds his supper waiting for him, still hot.
