My all time favourite book from my childhood. An excellently written story with beautiful illustrations.

This one is a bit old for our little boy at this stage but is sure to be a favourite as he gets older. At such a great price we couldn't resist stockpiling for later. A classic.

Still as great as it was when I read it as a child. My son aged 2 absolutely loves it - especially the wild things swinging through the trees!

This book has been one of my favourites for years. My son loves the story and so did my older boy when he was younger. Great pictures also.

This book is a fantastic childrens book!!! It was my favourite from childhood and children I have read it to also love it. Just timeless!

Fantastic book. I read this to my 2 1/2 to 3 year old's at work and to see them participate in the repetitive parts of the story is fantastic. You can see the anticipation in their eyes and it's the starting block for budding actors. My son also played a role in the play of Where the wild things are for Pre school, rave reviews......

One of the first things I did when I had my daughter was buy this book! It was much loved by mewhen I was young and is much loved by my child now. I believe there is a movie in the offing, can't wait to see it, hope it lives up to the book.

I loved this book as a child , i passed my copy on to my daughter who loves it so much the pages are falling out so now am going to buy a new one for my son :) i bet he'll love it too.

I recall reading this book in the school library, and loving it! When I saw it was still availible when my son was 5 I got a copy for he and I to read together, and he loves it too, now his little brother is also enjoying it!

I, like many of the others who have reviewed this book, simply adored reading this story as a child myself. And now that I am older, I get to read it to my own children too! And you know, I still do love this book as much as I did then. Aside from the delightful story, you'll simply love the adorable illustrations that fill this classic children's book.
