Used this book as the sign in memory keepsake for my son’s first birthday party. It was perfect for our where the wild things are party! Everyone absolutely loved the memories it brought back for them, and my son will forever remember his first birthday stories written in the book. 10/10 recommend for every parent to have this as a birthday theme at one point or another in their child’s list of parties!

'Where the Wild Things Are' is hands down the best book ever for a young reader or for someone to read to their little one. I recommend the hardcover to help it endure many, many readings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better with age
Reviewed in Canada on October 26, 2023

I hadn't read this book since I was a child, but the story is a classic and holds up quite well. The illustrations are even more impressive as an adult. Sendak's capacity to infuse emotion into the characters' depictions is impressive. I also found the paper quality to be surprisingly good; they are heavier than standard picture books and lightly textured with a matte finish, which makes for a pleasant perusal.
