I kept meaning and meaning and meaning to read this book for years (my coworker has a really cool tattoo--its her favorite book). Every time I think of reading it, I go to buy it (hoping there's a kindle version because I'm very instant-gratification--there's not, by the way), and I either forget or I'm too impatient to wait for it to be delivered. THIS TIME, I made myself wait.
It was so very worth it. Obviously
["Max, a wild and naughty boy, is sent to bed without his supper by his exhausted mother. In his room, he imagines sailing far away to a land of Wild Things. Instead of eating him, the Wild Things make Max their king."]
And like all children's books, the main character (the child) learns something, even just a little bit. He learns that, at the end of the day, something familiar and comforting is oftentimes more rewarding than adventure (and being King).
I (also) find a hot dinner and my own bed more comforting than...pretty much anything else.
