Where the Wild things in NYC?


Hey y'all..
Are you excited about the new movie coming out on October 16 called Where The Wild Things Are directed by Spike Jones? I remember pretty vividly I used to shiver, everytime I think of Max dancing with the grisly monsters in a wild rumpus.
As a child, I read repeatedly Maurice Sendak's masterpiece and coincidentally enough during my college year, I have to re-read the book and write an extensive term paper about the adventures as part of my minor class.
Lucky for us New Yorkers, The Big Apple will celebrate a long full week of this top notch classic children's book.
Below are the dates and places of where we can get a glimpse of the wild imaginations of Max:
  • October 10-18, Brooklyn Children's Museum : Children are able to play the parts from the book as an interactive readings conducted as well.
  • October 13, The New York Public Library : Join the film's stars like Forest Whitaker and Catherine Keener reading the book aloud to fellow Wild Things admirers of all ages!

  • October 16, Children's Museum of the Art : Encourage your kids, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren to display (or more like showing off) artistic skills of their own interpertation of Max's journey in this special workshop.
  • All year long : Experience the wilderness of New York City in some of the famous parks such as Bronx park (Don't forget to check out the beautiful river), Fort Tryon Park (come and visit the Cloister!), and of course Central Park (Beatles anyone? Strawberry field!)

So readers, no matter what age brackets you are in... I'm gladly welcome you all to this Wild celebration!
