00:00Where the Wild Things Are.

00:12Story and pictures by Maurice Sandak.

00:16The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind.

00:21And another.

00:23His mother called him Wild Thing.

00:26And Max said I'll eat you up.

00:28So he was sent to bed without eating anything.

00:32That very night in Max's room a forest grew.

00:36And grew.

00:38And grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around.

00:43And an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max and he sailed off through night and

00:48day.

00:50And in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are.

00:55When he came to the place where the wild things are they roared their terrible roars and gnashed

01:00their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.

01:05Till Max said BE STILL! and tamed them with the magic trick of staring into all their

01:11yellow eyes without blinking once and they were frightened and called him the most wild

01:15thing of all.

01:17And made him king of all wild things.

01:20And now cried Max.

01:22Let the wild rumpus start!

01:50Now stop!

02:16Max said and sent the wild things off to bed without their supper.

02:20And Max the king of all wild things was lonely and wanted to be where someone love him best

02:25of all.

02:27Then all around from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat so he gave up

02:32being king of where the wild things are.

02:36But the wild things cried.

02:37Oh please don't go!

02:41We'll eat you up!

02:43We love you so!

02:45And Max said, no.

02:47The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled

02:51their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws but Max stopped into his private boast

02:57and waved goodbye.

02:59And sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day.

03:03And into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting for him.

03:09And it was still hot.

03:11The end.
