Where the Wild Things Are Bernard Puppet, 14" Overview

This 14" soft and cuddly Bernard is based on Maurice Sendak's classic book - "Where the Wild Things Are" Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is a children's picture book originally published by Harper & Row. The book is about the imaginary adventures of a young boy named Max, who is punished for "making mischief" by being sent to his room without supper. Max wears a distinctive wolf suit during his adventures and encounters various mythical creatures, the wild things. Although just ten sentences long, the book is generally regarded as a classic of American illustrated children's literature. Written in 1963, it was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1964. [1] It also won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and was an ALA Notable Book. The book tells the story of Max, who one evening plays around his home, "making mischief" in a wolf costume (chasing the dog with a fork, etc.). As punishment, his mother sends him to bed without supper. In his room, a mysterious, wild forest grows out of his imagination, and Max journeys to the land of the Wild Things. They are fearsome-looking monsters, but Max conquers them with a scary look and he is made the King of all Wild Things. However, he soon finds himself lonely and homesick, and he returns home to his bedroom. He finds his supper waiting for him ... "And it was still hot." The original concept for the book featured horses instead of monsters. Sendak said he switched when he discovered that he could not draw horses. The Wild Things (except "Goat Boy", of course) were named after (and are presumably caricatures of) Maurice's aunts and uncles: Aaron, Bernard, Emil, Moishe and Tzippy.

Where the Wild Things Are Bernard Puppet, 14" Specifications

This 14-inch version of Bernard, the horned beast with the face of a bull, has everything Crocodile Creek's 24-inch version has, but in more modest proportions. Bernard, you may remember, was one of the beasts encountered by Max (hero of Maurice Sendak's tales) at the place where the wild things are. With his woolly gray head, fuzzy blue body, yellow eyes, white claw-like feet, and toothy grin, Bernard is easily imagined with his fellow wild things as "they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws." Crocodile Creek has created a fine niche by producing quality stuffed creatures from favorite kids' books. Their characters from Where the Wild Things Are are excellent examples of their craft. --Claire Dederer
