Synopsis
After causing havoc in his wolf suit, Max is sent to bed without any tea. In his bedroom a magical forest grows, enveloping him. He sails through time and washes up where the terrifying wild things are. He bravely tames them by looking straight into their eyes, and they name him their king. After a wonderful rumpus, Max is homesick and, to the wild things’ great resistance, sails home to find his supper waiting for him… still hot!
