Some writers create a lot of books of which only one becomes world famous. This is one. Today we would like point the spotlight on American author / illustrator Maurice Sendak and his in many languages translated, brilliant picture book Where the Wild Things Are.
Remarkable is that this book, published in 1963, is still reprinted and widely read by children today. In 1964 the book was awarded The Caldecott Medal of Honour, the most prestigious prize for a children's picture book in America,
Not only the style of drawing is very special but the story is beautiful. It fits perfectly in the children's worl. We won't tell you about the story, you better read it to your children yourself. We did it countless times, with a lot of pleasure.
