So you like the book Where The Wild Things Are?  It goes back all the way to 1963.
Yes one of my favorite children books to read. Max reminds me of my children.
There is a movie of it that came out in October 2009.  Have you seen it?
No I haven't seen the movie. My favorite part are the monsters. Max has an imagination. 
The movie was well-liked as beautiful and uncompromising. 
It's a beautiful story and the illustrations are amazing. I also like the author.

Maurice has written many great books.
Maurice Sendak did the illustrations as well.
