...and gnashed their terrible teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes
and showed their terrible claws
till Max said "BE STILL!"
and tamed them with the magic trick
of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once
and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all
and made him king of all wild things.
"And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
[Hums music from his favorite online reading of the book]
"Now stop!" Max said
and sent the wild things off to bed without their supper.
And Max the king of all wild things was lonely
and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.
Then all around from far away across the world
he smelled good things to eat
so he gave up being king of where the wild things are.
But the wild things cried, "Oh please don't go -
We'll eat you up - we love you so!"
But the wild things cried,
"Oh please don't go -
We'll eat you up - we love you so!"
And Max said, "No!"
The wild things roared their terrible roars
and gnashed their terrible teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes
and showed their terrible claws
but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye
and sailed back over a year
and in and out of weeks
and through a day
and into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting for him
and it was still hot.
