I just got back from taking my 6 year old Grandson, Aaron to see Where the Wild Things Were. We both liked the movie. Having been in child care and teaching preschool and kindergarten for 23 yrs, I've read the book many times. It may be a little scary to my 3 yr old Grandson, so I'm glad I checked it out first before bringing him. Since it was a Thursday, there were only four of us in the theater. I told Aaron I had reserved the theater for us and to be nice I let the other two people join us, he got a kick out of that!
