Where the Wild Things Are

[KEV67]

Little Adrian seems to have taken to this book. It can be difficult to introduce him to new books, but this one soon became a favourite, I am surprised how old it is. It was first published in 1964. Adrian is 21 months old, and he is not speaking yet. I think he understands some words. I wonder how much he understands of the story. He does not seem to have difficulty in the concept of a bedroom turning into a jungle.

One of my favourite children's books. I always made sure the children understood that Max wasn't scared of the wild things (I didn't want them to have nightmares!)

I wondered whether Adrian might be a bit scared of the wild things, but he does not seem to be. He likes the wild thing that sticks its head out the sea when he first gets to the island. What is strange to me is that Adrian accepts a bedroom turning into a jungle. I do not know how much of the book he understands.
