Favorite childhood books

Growing up one of my favorite books was were the wild things are. The book appeared mysterious and adventurous. The stories protagonist ran away from home in a little boat to a land full of monsters, where he convinces them that he is a king. Until he becomes home sick and sails back home.the main point of the story is to teach children that being wild may seem fun but, you need your family and leaving them is no answer to being upset. The book is often viewed as almost scary and frightening for children but I really enjoyed and it is one of the oldest books I can remember.
