It helped my 5 year old granddaughter realize how easily we can hurt the feeling of our friends if we are not careful what we say and do. She did complain it didn't follow the book. My 12 year old grandson caught the parallels completely.
The Wild Things had wonderfully expressive faces as did Max. The projects they worked on together impressed and inspired my grandson.
