Max, King of All Wild Things

View Poster

Maurice Sendak has childhood memories of his relatives leaning over him "with their bad teeth and hairy noses, and saying something threatening like 'You're so cute, I could eat you up.'" Those relatives became the monsters in Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. When they say, "We'll eat you up, we love you so," the protoganist Max says, "No!" The book was first published in 1963 to very mixed reviews. It was the Caldecott Medal winner for 1964, but many psychologists and parents felt that it was too harsh and violent for young children. The children did not agree. It has gone on to be a classic favorite of young and old alike. Happy birthday to Maurice Sendak, who turns 80 today.
