That night, little Max put on his wolf suit and made all kinds of mischief around the house
His mother called him a little wild thing, and Max talked right back
He even said he would eat her up
So his mother sent him to bed without any supper
Max stayed all alone in his room
And that very night, the room began to change
Trees started to grow, vines reached up toward the ceiling, and the four walls slowly turned into a wide, wide world
Now the little boy who could only stay in his room had a forest and an ocean right in front of him
He climbed into a little boat and sailed away, off to the place where the wild things live
Day and night went by, and the journey stretched out so long that it felt almost like a whole year
And there, at last, were the wild things
They roared and showed their teeth and claws, trying to scare the new little boy
But Max didn't back away
He told them to be still, and he stared straight at them without blinking once
That frightened the wild things
The wild things decided that Max was wilder than all of them, so they made him their king
Back home, he had just been sent to his room for being naughty
But here, a whole crowd of huge wild things listened to his every word
Max led them in a great wild rumpus
This time, he was the one who decided when it would begin, and he was the one who decided when it would stop
When the fun was over, he sent the wild things off to bed without any supper
What his mother had once done to him, Max now did to the wild things
When everything grew quiet, Max felt lonely
The wild things still called him their king and obeyed his every command, but he wanted to go back to the place where someone loved him best of all
Then the smell of good food came drifting to him from far, far away
He wanted to go home
Even if it meant he would no longer be king, Max made up his mind to leave
The wild things begged him to stay
They said they loved him so much that they wanted to eat him up
But Max said no
They roared again and showed their teeth and claws, yet Max still climbed into his little boat and waved goodbye
That long, strange journey carried him back to his own room, back to that very same night
When he'd set out, he'd gone without his supper for talking back to his mother
Now he was home, and his supper was sitting there waiting for him
And it was still hot
