Review: Maxes adventure - The greatest childhood book of all time perfect for reading to the little ones
Review: Why this book is so good - I've come across some mixed views about this book and the negative ones perhaps miss the point by focusing on only one aspect of the book. Here's 5 reasons why I think it's genius: 1) The pictures - lively, engaging and even grotesque, the pictures are attractive and yes a little scary but young readers get to play at being wild things and this helps manage and control fear. Note there's a picture on the wall of a wild thing that portends what is to come and serves as perfect dream fodder. 2) The words - short and to the point and the mixed metaphors add to the dreamy sensation. "In and out of weeks and through a day." 3) Parental involvement - you have to get involved. So, when the action starts and the words stop - if you've not put down your mobile device and started up some African drumming and Day of the Dead face-pulling with your nipper - then you're not getting involved enough! 4) All great books have a message behind the plot, even short kids books. The psychological implications are fairly obvious. It doesn't matter whether it's a dream or not but Max gets to play out his telling off (he commands the wild things to stop and sends them to bed - precisely as happened to him) and so gains some control over the strong emotions he's just experienced. You've seen your nipper tell off toys and even siblings like this...classic projection. 5) Max's dinner shows up anyway so that the normal things continued and he's still loved despite his naughty episode. And that is why this book is genius.
