Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak




Sendak, M., & Sendak, M. (1963). Where the wild things are. New York: Harper & Row.

Summary: A mischievous boy named Max is sent to his room by his mother after he says he will eat her up.  In his bedroom his imagination goes wild.  He sails to where the wild things live and they make him their king.  The fantasy comes to an end when he smells dinner.  

Visual element - Texture: Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is a great example of texture as a visual element.  The illustrator creates that feeling of wanting to touch the creatures in the book.

Character(s): In the story Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, we are introduced to mischievous Max.  He dreams of a far off place with wild things but then he knows when to stop his imagination.
