{"product_id":"where-the-wild-things-are-maurice-sendak","title":"Where the Wild Things Are","description":"Where the Wild Things Are is one of those truly rare books that can be enjoyed equally by a child and a grown-up. If you disagree, then it's been too long since you've attended a wild rumpus. Max dons his wolf suit in pursuit of some mischief and gets sent to bed without supper. Fortuitously, a forest grows in his room, allowing his wild rampage to continue unimpaired. Sendak's color illustrations (perhaps his finest) are beautiful, and each turn of the page brings the discovery of a new wonder.   The wild things--with their mismatched parts and giant eyes--manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary; at times they're downright hilarious. Sendak's defiantly run-on sentences--one of his trademarks--lend the perfect touch of stream of consciousness to the tale, which floats between the land of dreams and a child's imagination.  This Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maurice Sendak\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e HarperTrophy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperTrophy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45681432395967,"sku":"9780064430555","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/1060\/1663\/files\/view_archive_41c3284e-7b8f-4454-8826-2165a07c0b5c.jpg?v=1780470198","url":"https:\/\/www.blendedbooknook.com\/products\/where-the-wild-things-are-maurice-sendak","provider":"Blended Book Nook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
