  1. This is such a neat book, brings back so many memories! I used to
    love getting it out from the library when I was young. Now I enjoy
    reading it to my daughter!

  2. my mum used to read me this book when i was little and now i read it to my children. They love the story.

  3. I remember reading this book when I was a child. I loved it. My son
    picked this out as one of his 2 books per visit from the library a few
    months back. I had to read it to him every night at bedtime until we had
    to take it back to the library.

  4. The pictures are terrific with a lot going on in the background

  5. Here’s another oldtime favourite which my children just love!!!! It
    is a great illustration of children’s imaginations…….Great Book

  6. My two sons absolutely loved this book. They liked the idea of
    going ‘where the wild things are and the book inspired a lot of play in
    our house. The book nicely balances the child’s need for imaginative
    thinking with a sense of limits and the pleasures of home.

  7. My aunty used to read me this book and if i didn’t go to sleep fast
    she would say the wild things would come and get me. Great book

    story time at school.
