Fun book, but scares some toddlers

avid reader

Pros

Great story, Fantastic pictures

Cons

Wild Things may be scary for young ones

DEC

2007

This was a popular book with my son - but I did worry that it promoted bad behaviour in the guise of being a "wild thing". I do love the pictures and the overall message of love comes through in the end. This book tends to be more popular with boys than girls.
