Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

An ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max and he sailed off through night and day and in and out of weeks and almost over a year to where the wild things are.

And when he came to the place where the wild things are, they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws

till max said "BE STILL"! and tamed them with a magic trick.  The wild things were frightened and made him king of all the wild things.

But then all around, from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat and so he gave up being king of where the wild things are

When Max tried to leave 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 goodbye.

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.
