Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak was one of my favourite books as a young child if not my very favourite.
I readily identified with Max and his wolf costume, and the wild things themselves were fascinating and a little scary.
“And the wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws”.
I’ve discovered that this children’s classic is to be made into a motion picture and will be directed by Spike Jonze. Perfect.
