One night Max puts on his wolf suit and makes mischief of one kind and
another, so his mother calls him 'Wild Thing' and sends him to bed
without his supper. That night a forest begins to grow in Max's room and
an ocean rushes by with a boat to take Max to the place where the wild
things are.
Max tames the wild things and crowns himself as
their king, and then the wild rumpus begins. But when Max has sent the
monsters to bed, and everything is quiet, he starts to feel lonely and
realises it is time to sail home to the place where someone loves him
best of all.
