Spending your time out in your room without dinner...a perfect time to slip off and rule the monster world. My children and I love this book so much. We have read it a hundred times. The audiobook is a joy to listen to and my kids got lost in the reader's voices. We highly recommend this audiobook for your children ages 2-92!

My son loves this story. It captures the imagination & is written with the perspective as coming from a small, ornery boy!

We like this book, but this audiobook might not be the best for little ones as the music can sound a bit scary as well the the person speaking it. It’s great for this book, but I probably wouldn’t play it again for my 3yr old for a while.

Pretty good - maybe not for younger children

Max and the Wild Things are my favorite escape from daily life. The pictures are great. The narrator is awesome! The background music is in the background and when there are no words to be spoken the music gets louder. Perfect!!!

My favorite story.

Brings me back to childhood every time. I could do with less music and let the story just be read. I still lived it anyway.

Favorite book of all time.
