Since 1963, the book Where the Wild Things Are has won many awards - the Caldecott Medal, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and has been named as a “notable book” by the American Library Association.
The book was adapted into an animated short film on DVD by Scholastic Video. A documentary about Sendak’s life and work, Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak, made its debut on HBO October 16, 2009 and will be repeated at 8 am ET Friday, Oct 30th. A video game was released this week for most gaming platforms.
On Friday, October 17, 2009, the book arrived as a live action, puppetry and computer-generated imagery movie. Below is the trailer for the movie and teaching resources to use in the classroom to have children compare and contrast the movie to the book. My favorite is A Guide for Using Where the Wild Things Are in the Classroom.
