Where the Wild Things Are

I really enjoy reading this book to my class. Everytime I read this book, I remember growing up near the woods and always thinking the little boy down the street had to grow up in the woods because he was so different. As I encounter individuals that act a little different, I always remember that its just the environment. In addition, I use this story to teach my children that everyone is different and it is okay as long as they respect others differences.
