Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
4.0

I haven’t read this since I was a kid. I didn’t remember anything standing out except the art style, which is still delightful in its hatches, uncanny faces, and mismatched animal parts. Max’s world provided a window into childish imagination. But ultimately, he recognizes correctly that one must come out to reality as well. Thankfully, his is a warm one with a caring family.

I don’t expect to add many children’s books here. I don’t often read them. But I am not opposed to doing so by any means. There is great literature for young people, even the very youngest; though, most is tripe.
