    Definitely once of the best children's books ever! I just email the link to my mom, who is a 1st grade teacher, and she is going to read the book with her class to prep them for the movie. The wild things look just like the book!

    I will be curious to see how they stretch the book into a full length movie though.

    yep, great book.

    i started a thread a little while ago about children's books and this was talked about.

    inspired me to find my copy and look through it.

    they're making a movie now? cool.

    excellent book, definitely would make an interesting movie if it is well done.
    my personal fave is the giving tree by shel silverstein, my gawd....beautiful and heart-wrenching. followed closely by harold and the purple crayon. fantastic stuff. :P

    Never heard of the book before. :? Does anyone know if it's well known in Europe? Or is it such an America only thing? Trailer looks good though, the song sounds even better. :)

    These are my favorite Children's Stories of all time!

    I also like "The Missing Piece" and this really obscure one called "Just Right" it's about an old couple with a house for sale.


    I am so super excited by this movie!! I want to get a wild things tattoo - but i have not decided which one to go with. it was one of my absolute must reads when I taught Pre-School

    I think some books should be left as books and to children's imagination. This movie looks like nothing but weird and I LOVE the book. Harold and the purple crayon would make a cool movie! I think the Giving tree should be left alone as well...look what happened to the DR. Seuss books as movies? They're HORRID.
