Book of the Week - "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Most Distinguished Picture Book of the Year, the original picture book has never before been as faithfully reproduced as it is in this new edition.

Nine-year-old Max runs away from home and sails across the sea to become king of a wondrous realm of gigantic fuzzy monsters - but being king may not be as carefree as it looks! You are also welcome to enjoy the DVD of "Where the Wild Things Are" (USA, 2009) with your kids and friends at American Library's Media Room!
