Recensioner i media

Sendak is the daddy of them all when it comes to picture books - the words, the rhythm and the design are all wonderful.

Magisk
Köp den till dig själv, eller köp den till ett barn. Where the Wild Things Are är en klassisk bilderbok som sålt över 19 miljoner exemplar sedan första utgåvan 1963. "Where the Wild Things Are" har blivit tolkad från psykologiska och kolonialistiska perspektiv. I grund och botten är det om barns förmåga att frigöra sig själv in till fantasins värld, men samtidigt bemästra känslor som tristess, frustration och rädsla; samtidigt som de har en tydlig uppfattning om verkligheten.
