Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is a brilliant picture book driven by a child’s imagination. When Max is sent to his room by his mother without dinner he dreams up a world far away with enormous creatures. The creatures crown Max the king and he rules until he becomes lonely. Max returns to his room where his supper is waiting for him. This is a good book that illustrates the power of imagination. Many kids dream up their own fantasy lands when they are playing. When I was younger I used to dream up a new place each time I played Barbie dolls. As an adult it is easy to lose sight of our imagination and books like this remind us of the endless possibilities when we dream. The illustrations in this book are amazing and help represent the overall idea of imagination.
