Creepy. How is this a children’s book?

Needed to read this to see why everyone said it traumatised them as children.
I think I understand them now
adventurous fast-paced

How sad that Maurice Sendak is no longer with us. I had a chance o see the Magic Flute once where he had done the scenery...amazing! His unique sense of whimsy and danger is amazingly illustrated in Max's adventure..

Why did I assume that this was a long book? (because of the movie, to which I have a huge attachement for who knows what reason)
I picked it up after it was briefly mentioned in Pet Sematary.
Not a book that you'd rate, but a book that I'd hopefully read to my kids

One of the best children's books ever!

After reading Eggers' The Wild Things, had to check this out again. Had to go through the consortium but I got it. Soooo cute.
