About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Where the wild things are

Where the wild things are by Maurice Sendak has been a favourite picture book of mine for many years. Who can't relate to young Max?, as he rebels against his parents and the ohhh soooo mannny rules life has in store for him. Who wouldn't choose to escape it all - for mysterious adventure? What scary creatures await us? Will we be able to befriend them? No wonder it's a favourite for so many of us.
But here's the big news - it's being made into a movie! I know, can you believe it? How can they take such a perfect picture book and make it into a movie? Should we care? Will it ruin this perfect little book for future generations? Or will it add to the story? Will it be the way we imagine the wild things and their wild place?
Check out the movie trailer.
