Where the WIld things Are

This book, Where the Wild things Are, is an interesting tale that shows the reader the mischievous ways of Max who wears a wolf costume. Maurice Sendak, at first, hoped to create this story based on horses but later switched it when he realized he could not draw horses. In the book and in discussion, we touched base on how the pictures seem to get larger and larger when Max enters his own world. This could represent his frustration at his mother at the highest level. But as he begins to miss home, the pictures begin to shrink and Max comes back to civilization. The story is quite interesting especially how relates little boys to wolves just like that of Peter Rabbit relating bunnies to little boys. The animal instinct comes out of each character as well as the understanding once reality has struck them.
Another interesting thing about Where The Wild Things Are is the fact that Disney thought about making in to an actual movie, however, it never got passed the preview test. Here is a clip of that idea.
