Sendak, Maurice (1963). Where the Wild Things Are. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.Challenged Book
One of my own children's favorites!
Just yesterday I met with all the elementary music teachers in the district and we brought this book to life with song, instruments, movement and drama, and it was a beautiful thing!
We were looking for a piece to perform as a group at our faculty concert in January, and we decided to do away with the pieces we were thinking about. We will now perform this literary wonder, and we are very excited! Our performance will embody what we elementary music teachers do in our classrooms every day!
Sendak's journey into a preschooler's imagination takes us to exotic and far-away places only to make us realize that home and family is the best places to be. How better to bring this book to life than to bring it into a music and movement world! The Wild Rumpus is the best part! I'll post a video soon!
