The Wild Things by Dave Eggers is a novel for all ages. It is loosely based on the award-winning children’s book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and the screenplay for the movie. Maybe you have seen the fabulous previews for the movie, which was co-written by Dave Eggers and Spike Jonze. Click here to watch the trailer. Just watching these characters run and tumble makes me happy. The movie opens October 16th. 
The Wild Things is out today. Oh, and I just read the original story today. hee hee.

I will be reading this as soon as possible. So, Sunday when I come in for my second shift of the month please remind me that I want this book! I don’t usually like Dave Eggers (but I have both of his books). But this is worth my time to read.
Nell, I started reading it last night . . . and it was hard to put down. I managed to make it to page 47 before falling asleep. The characters are very endearing; you immediately develop sympathy and hope for them. Check out this faux-fur edition of The Wild Things. We’re supposed to be getting some of these in October. They’re hysterical . . . . but I think I’m glad I got the non-fur edition. So Silly!

I saw a commercial for the movie this morning and it looks great!! Where the Wild Things Are is one of my favorite childrens books and I am interested in reading the Eggers. I will probably hit the movie theater also for this one!
