About the author

... Show More
Maurice Bernard Sendak was an American writer and illustrator of children's literature who is best known for his book Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963. An elementary school (from kindergarten to grade five) in North Hollywood, California is named in his honor.

Sendak was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Polish-Jewish immigrant parents, and decided to become an illustrator after viewing Walt Disney's film Fantasia at the age of twelve. His illustrations were first published in 1947 in a textbook titled Atomics for the Millions by Dr. Maxwell Leigh Eidinoff. He spent much of the 1950s working as an artist for children's books, before beginning to write his own stories.

This book is all about fantasy. It has won the Caldecott Medal. This is an all ages book. Shockingly, his mom is sick of his tricks, and sends him to bed with no dinner. Anyway, out of the blue a timberland develops in his room and Max is taken away to a place that is known for Wild Things. Luckily, the Wild Things don't eat Max; rather they make him their ruler. People need to realize that, even though Max gets into mischief, the message is one of parental affection. This inconspicuous perfect work of art of story, composition, and workmanship will have children requesting rehashed readings. Beautiful dialect and a universe of creative energy make this wild experience a fun learning background.

Dieses Hörbuch vereint nicht nur "Where The Wild Things" in sich sondern noch viele andere schöne Kindergeschichten von Maurice Sendak. Die Lesestimme erinnert an eine alte Märchenhexe und trägt alle Geschichten mit toller ausdrucksstarker Betonung vor. Dazwischen lockert passende, klassiche Musik das ganze wunderbar auf.
Wenn ich als Kind englisch verstanden hätte, hätte ich diese Geschichten sicher rauf und runter gehört!
