I got introduced to Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak when I was still in NIE. I did not like it then and I left it at that. But, I kept reading good reviews about the story and the illustrations so I gave it another go. Now I love it! Maybe it is because Sophie is fast entering her "Terrific Two" and I can just imagine how I would probably send her off to bed without her dinner... only to leave a snack or two for her in her room ("Wait-She-Hungry-How?!" mentality). Since Sophie has been chit-chatting with her plush toys (especially Momo aka Elmo and Bear-Bear aka Pooh Bear and his Teddy Bear) before she sleeps, I guess it is entirely possible for her to imagine her room as a "La-La Land" so that she can continue whatever she wants there. Hopefully, she will find "Home" still the best place to be... like Max.
