Where The Wild Things Are is about a young boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother by threatening to leave. Max's mother sends him to bed without dinner. While in the privacy of his room, Max goes on an imaginary journey to a farawy land and comes face to face with the "wild things", who are enormous creatures with large claws and teeth. The "wild things" make Max their kind and he and the "wild things" celebrate until Max tells them to sop and punishes them the same way he was! Join Max on his imaginary journey and true insight into how children really perceive or imagine things to be when not getting their way! How could you incorporate an activity of making your own "wild thing" into a language arts lesson? I have used this book in math lessons dealing with addition/subtraction, multiplication and geometry.
