Liked some parts, other parts were scary. Everyone loved "Chicken Soup with Rice." Younger kids were genuinely frightened by the monsters. Older kids who were familiar with Sendak's books liked it best and appreciated the fantasy.
We love this classic! Fun to see our favorite, familiar books come to life. Parents should be aware that some animation is not full motion. However, the best part of everything Weston Woods does is that they are always faithful to the original book. These stories respect children's imagination and their need to feel powerful without violence. This age loves stories that resolve danger comfortably. Great music by Carol King.
Max is a young boy who sails off to an imaginary island inhabited by strange creatures, only to become their king. Includes two other Maurice Sendak stories, "The Nutshell Kids" and "In the Night Kitchen."
