But I repeat this book is not solely here for that purpose. This came to me in a hardback of very adult styling, and for a change there was not a children's edition or movie tie-in volume to be found (I dare say the original might differ there, however). The fact this is definitely its own piece and not just a quick adaptation is more than obvious, and one more reason for me to recommend this. I don't think it is brilliant for any audience, but for those who know the original and are moving on to full-length novels, or for the adults who might just welcome a psychologically astute 'kids' read' (or flashback to their own youth), this will be enjoyed.

We hope that everyone has read the [[Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak|the original picture book]]. If not, do so - whatever your age.
