Reading resources Book of the month November 2023 We are dedicating this month to some classic stories which we think would be wonderful to share with the children you read with. Many of the titles have an eternal magic about them and are stories which many generations are able to find a connection with. These books highlight the importance of how showing your own personal connection to a story can help children do the same, having a greater impact on them. Through classic storytelling, timeless illustrations and simple but engaging plots, children of all ages can find connections with the range of characters and situations presented so skilfully by some of our most well-loved authors. About the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak Let the wild rumpus start—Where the Wild Things Are is turning sixty! Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Medal–winning picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. This iconic story of Max and his journey to visit the Wild Things has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. His mother called him “WILD THING!” And Max said “I’LL EAT YOU UP!” so he was sent to bed without eating anything.
