A mischievous boy named Max is sent to his room due to his out of control behavior. Max allows his imagination to run wild. In his imagination he allows himself to get close to the wild things in the forest, and even becomes their king. He suddenly realizes how lonely he feels. Finally, his hunger got the best of him, so ”he returns home” to find a warm meal waiting for him. This book had great illustrations. I especially enjoyed the way Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator of the book, slowly transformed Max’s bedroom into the dark forest.
Through the use of lines and color the author gave the book a sense of texture. This is seen throughout Max’s house and in the forest. His use of color did the same thing in his illustrations of the ocean and in the monsters.
