Where the WIld Things Are Opens in Movie Theatres this Thursday
The book, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is a wonderful children’s story about Max, a little boy who makes mischief and trouble, sent to bed without supper. He finds himself traveling to Where the Wild Things are, magically calming them by staring into their eyes. He plays with them, but sends them to bed without supper. Finding himself lonely, he travels back home where supper is waiting for him in his room.
While the on-screen version not only follows the book but expands upon the story, Where the Wild Things Are has received both excellent and mixed reviews. This story enraptures hearts of all ages, though some has found it suited best for children over 7 years old.
At The Storyteller’s Book Store, we are excited to celebrate the on-screen version on this endearing book, which is well over thirty years old. So come out and celebrate with us, Where the Wild Things Are, on October 31, 2009 from 3:00-5:00pm. Great for a pre-trick or treating event, we will have refreshments, prizes for the best costume and more!
