Fabulous - even for very young readers August 3, 2008
Wonderful pictures for toddlers and mesmerising text for children. My little boy - fifteen months old - absolutely adores it. The expressions on Max's (the little boy) face are classic and the monsters are wonderful. Sort of slightly scary but also adorable.
I remember reading this myself when so little and I don't actually think it's dated *that* much. An important addition to any little one's library.

This has to be one of the best children's books ever! I loved reading it as a child, as it really appealed to my vivid imagination, and I now buy it for any kid I know who doesn't already have it!
Every child should have a copy of this book March 21, 2007

This book changed childrens books forever. The pictures are given much more emphasis that the text and so increase the appeal to a young child.
The book has travel the world and has been enjoyed by generations , this is because it is timeless and an absolute classic which is still used in schools today.

I thought this book would be a bit scary for my sensitive 5yo daughter when she was given it as a birthday present. Concerned about nightmares I hid it for a bit. It was discovered soon enough and she insisted I read it to her.
She wasn't scared at all and thankfully no nightmares to report. She loves the story and loves pretending to be one of the wild things, nashing her terrible jaws and waving her fearsome claws.

I was given this book to read by my primary school teacher way back in the early 80's i was drawnto the illustrations in the way that people are drawn to a car crash, I didn't like it but couldn't stop loking at them, these pictures have had exactly the same effect on my young sons.
The story is simple and short and the pictures make the book without doubt.
It is a lovely book,adored by many.
What made me really glad we had read this book and discussed what was happening in it in great detail was that it was used for my sons SAT's when he was 6 and he was able to write about a familiar text.
