You asked for it, and now, you can get it. Your very own copy of Where the Wild Things Are…And 5 More Stories by Maurice Sendak DVD from Scholastic Storybook Treasures™.
The book comes to life in the animated adaptation of the storybook classic. In a room full of kiddos ages <1 to 13 years, the older ones found it entertaining. The subtitles highlight as the story is read to encourage read-along fun.
The 5 other film shorts were not as detailed in artistic quality–in fact the technology was decades older than the title piece. But, they’re entertaining enough for younger kids who aren’t yet jaded by the animated special effects available in most of of today’s films. There are songs performed by diva Carole King which sound dated compared to today’s music, but it IS music and it IS singing which kids love.
Personally, I could give or take the 5 extra features, but the title feature is worthwhile. Major craft bonus is that the DVD comes with incredibly detailed stickers inspired by illustrations from Where the Wild Things Are…And 5 More Stories by Maurice Sendak.
You can purchase your own copy of Where the Wild Things Are…And 5 More Stories by Maurice Sendak DVD online . . . OR you can try to win your very own copy here on TWB by leaving a comment in haiku format about what you love most about autumn. You must keep to true haiku syllabic form in order to be eligible.
Only one comment per person. Multiple entries will be deleted. The contest for Where the Wild Things Are DVD ends at 11:59 PM (EST) on Friday, September 26th. The winner will be announced on Saturday, September 27th.
The winner for each prize and 2 alternates will be selected on Random.org and announced on this post. If you provide your e-mail address, I will contact you. The winner has 72 hours to claim the prize, otherwise, the prize goes to the first alternate to contact me with a shipping address.

the first cool day’s breeze
football, sweaters, and warm socks
slowing down, deep breaths
big leaves green and red
are all falling on the ground
“grab them all” I said
Apple cider warms,
Wood fire smoke scent is sweet,
swirling leaves blow ’round
If superman had a weakness
my weakness would be writing hakuis
maybe a monster would at least distract
School days, cool nights, and
Sunday afternoon football.
Who doesn’t love fall?
The smell of apples
cinnamon and burning wood
soups, stews and chilis!
Autumn air so crisp
Pumpkins, apples and black cats
Leaves have turned to gold

Autumn leaves crunching
a single leaf falls, crimson
the air smells of fall
Football and junk food
Red leaves blowing down the street
Crisp chill in the air
Fun contest, thanks!

apple cider mill
red shiny orbs crushed for drink
with warm spice doughnuts
orange pumpkins sit
becoming jack-o-lanterns
shining very bright
red, yellow, orange
leaves falling, dressing the ground
autumn has arrived
the weather feels cool
the leaves are starting to fall
peaceful autumn days
crisp leaves falling down
pumpkin spice in my coffee
kids at school: I sip
wet, foggy mornings,
crunchy, fragrant leaves falling.
Autumn has arrived.
Leaves changing color;
A closet full of hoodies;
Pumpkins, Halloween.
the chill in the air
the leaves changing bright colors
having a birthday
yummy stew and chili
make my belly full of warmth
love to be cozy inside
Cool breeze, warm sunshine.
Get out your favorite coat.
Still need sunglasses.
Fun contest!!
