Wild Things

Classic children's books are such
For reasons very clear.
Their plots or pictures are unique
And beautifully cohere.

The Sendak stories, which, to some,
Are really quite bizarre, 
Have always brought us pleasure,
E.g. "Where the Wild Things Are."

It's new to Henry yet it drew
Him deep inside the tale,
A feat that Maurice Sendak books
Do always, without fail.

So Max and all the Wild Things,
Which my grandson liked a lot, 
Now will join his favorites in a place
Where supper's always hot.
