Where the Wild Things Are: In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There, Nutshell Library, Sign on Rosie's Door, Very Far Away

Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are was published in 1963 to great critical acclaim. Brian O'Doherty of The New York Times said that Mr. Sendak's work, disguised in fantasy, springs from his earliest self, from the vagrant child that lurks in the heart of all of us.Where the Wild Things Are is the first book in a trilogy that includes In the Night Kitchen, published in 1970, a profoundly engaging fantasy that ought to become a classic (The New York Times) and Outside Over There, published in 1981, which Newsweek called extraordinary... triumphantly moving.
