[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure this is not a popular option, but I cannot stand “Where the Wild Things Are.” [/quote]

I initially hated it, but after the 183673th time reading it, I kind of started liking it.[/quote]

I just love the poetry of the book. He sailed back in and out of weeks and through a day. [/quote]

DP. The prose is beautiful.

I initially hated the book too. My first DC wasn't into it and I couldn't relate.

I developed an appreciation for the book when my second, "wild child," came along. It so captures him and his feelings of rage, calming, and return to normalcy. Light bulb![/quote]

I love the prose as well.  So much conveyed in "And it was still hot."  In the right frame of mind, it can bring tears to my eyes.[/quote]

Yes I love it too. I read it often and it’s one of my kids’ favorites. I don’t read poetry much now but loved it in my college days.

My 4 year old finally understood the other night why the food was still hot. There’s so much unsaid in each phrase. You also have to read it animatedly. We growl and show our claws and roll our eyes. [/quote]

Yes!  NP - I love reading this book out loud.  One of my favorites.  My youngest is almost 10 and this is one of the few books that I really miss reading to him.[/quote]
