Summary of Professional Reviews:
This wonderful book is arguably Sendak's best work -- and one of the true classics of children's literature. Perhaps the most appealing element is the wordless series of illustrations in which, after Max begins the "wild rumpus," he and his new friends dance and cavort through six pages of some of the most whimsical, enchanting, and unique artwork in children's literature. The message of unconditional parental love is reassuring to young ones and a perfect ending to the story.
Review by Rokaya:
Winning a Caldecott Medal, this book has amazing illustrations that show extra detail in Max’s facial features. This book is well written and has a great meaning and moral to it.
