One of the greatest children's books of all time is Where the Wild Things Are. I adore this book. Everything about it makes me happy. One of my favorite pictures is when the kid's bed is growing into the ground and turning into part of the forest.
I read an article about a year ago that made my world a little brighter. It said that they were making Wild Things into a movie. Now, normally, I am not impressed with Hollywood adaptations of movies, and find them to be all the same. They try to hard to make these film adatpations (especially children's stories) far more action-packed than they actually are. But this time, the one and only Dave Eggers, my favorite author, is helping write the film. I just looked up a trailer for it the other day, and I'm a bit skeptical, but still hopeful.

My nephew loved that book! I could read that story to him over and over again and never grew tired of it. So happy to hear it's being made into a movie. Let's keep our fingers crossed together that it will be good!
