Sendak, M. (1963). Where the wild things are. New York: Harper & Row.
Max's mother is not happy with him. Max is sent to his room without supper. Max decides to sail of the where the wild things are. In this land, they make him king. He can run around, be loud, and there are no rules to follow. However, Max soon tires of this land and wants to return home. When he gets home, his hot supper is waiting for him.
When I taught kindergarten, I read this story when discussing rules and their consequences. Students discussed what happens when we don't have rules. In this story, Max enjoys life with the wild things for a while, but eventually misses home.
