Probably won't see the movie, even though I have little kids. We are probably the only parent in the Unite States who have never (and will never) read that book to our kids. It's just...creepy. I thought it was creepy when I was a kid, and my husband did too.

How the heck do they make a feature-length movie out of a wee little picture book that barely has any words, anyway? Sounds like Hollywood is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Well I know that the book inspired IMAGINATION in me and my brothers as children so probably the writers and directors used theirs.

And creepy? I hope you never read "In the Night Kitchen" then.

Children's books that aren't pablum often have a creepy side. How about "Goodnight Moon?" Every fairy tale ever written?

"Where the Wild Things Are" is also a book about giving in to your wild side but being welcomed home afterward. Which is decidedly not creepy. I too have my reservations about Hollywood screwing up this story, but I have to admit to being intrigued by the trailers and posters. Yes, clever marketing.

I can hardly stand waiting for this movie to come out! The trailer almost made me cry!

My boyfriend drew a series of "Where the Wild Things Are" pictures a while back and I love having them up in the house. I can't wait to get my hands on these movie posters!
