Certainly one to introduce to my daughter! </p> <p>As background Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is a children's picture book originally published by Harper &amp; Row.

Where The Wild Things utilizes repetitive wording, encourages the young reader to attempt to read along;still the vibrant and detailed artwork holds the adults' attention read after read.The moral message of the story is a wonderful gateway to child/parent discussion even in the earliest years. Every bookshelf should have a copy of Where The Wild Things Are tucked amongst the masters....
