Imagination and Where The Wild Things Are

I think that my favorite picture book is Where The Wild Things Are. It is a story about a boy who goes on a wild adventure with his imagination. It used to scare me as a kid and the pictures were embedded into my brain but I still liked the book. As a child I understood the book as a boy who goes on an island with monsters but now as I read it again it is a boy who has a big imagination and has a huge adventure within it. Here is how this book inspired me to write about imagination.

The main thing that inspired me was the fact that the whole story was his imagination. The author made the story seem like it was actually happening so you can view it using your imagination. It was interesting because events happen and the boy goes through an adventure. I think it was also about how just because they are scary or the fact that they're monsters doesn't always mean that they are bad. They actually made him the king of the wild things.

But it's really about anger, too. In the picture book he hides in his room because he was punished and he goes to a jungle in a far away land. He meets the wild things where he tames them and he becomes the king.

This book rhymed in some parts but I want my whole story to rhyme. it will be about imagination and there will be some repetition like in where the wild things are. That is how it has inspired me to make my picture book.
