Let me just start off by saying I am more excited about the release of Where The Wild Things Are on October 16th than I am about my 20th birthday a week later. Trust that I will be front row opening night!
My fascination with this book began when I was young, as it did for most kids. I didn't have siblings and so I was responsible for making my own fun as a kid, needless to say I developed a ridiculous imagination. We didn't own this book, but it was one I would grab and read while cozied up in an old bean bag during free time in our school library.
Maurice Sendak published this book in 1964, and what is so cool to me is that he not only wrote it but he also was the illustrator.
This movie is growing into one of those "trendy things" but I don't really care. The book has such a good message and I'm really excited to see how the movie expounds upon the themes of hope and childhood innocence.
I can tell the movie is going to have such a magical feel to it and I know I'm going to love it-kind of like how much I love Penelope...don't judge.
Did I mention Theta Alpha's Fall Rush week theme is Where the Wild Things Are? I know, I can't even wait!
