Max's adventure begins after he is sent to bed with no supper. He ventures to the land of the wild things, where he is made the King. This made Max sad and lonely so he returned home where he found his warm supper waiting for him.
Sendak's illustrations allow the reader to travel with Max on his journey to where the wild things are. The illustrations give the reader an opportunity to become familiar with Max and the wild things even though no text is present on the page. This can help young or struggling readers with the elements of the story by allowing them to predict what is best based on the illustrations. This book received the Caldecott Medal and here is the link to the book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIK9cRWCEvY
