Sent to bed without supper for his mischief, Max sails to a fantastic island inhabited by wild and ferocious creatures who acclaim him as their king.

Recommended for children from 3 years old and for readers who want a classic of the picture book in Galician.
Maurice Bernard Sendak was an American author and illustrator of children's books. Born to Polish-Jewish parents, his childhood was impacted by the death of many of his family members during the Holocaust. Sendak illustrated his own books as well as those by other authors, such as the Little Bear series by Else Holmelund Minarik. He achieved acclaim with Where the Wild Things Are (1963), the first of a trilogy followed by In the Night Kitchen (1970) and Outside Over There (1981). He also designed sets for operas, notably Mozart's The Magic Flute.
