I got this book via Children's Book-of-the-Month Club.
This is one of the best children's picture books ever! Poor Max! He gets sent to his room without his supper for being too wild and mischievous. While he is in his room he lets his imagination take him through time to another world, where he is hailed king of all wild things until the smell of his supper waiting for him lures him back to his room. I was already a parent when I first read this book and I remember thinking, "What?" "Send my boy to his room without supper?" "Never!" Max did get his supper though, and it was still hot! Great book! Wonderful illustrations! I recommend you read it or I'll eat you up!
Annotation
