There are stories we read as children that never quite leave us. Where the Wild Things Are is one of them—a tale of mischief, escape, and self-discovery that lingers long after the final page. Maurice Sendak’s classic has captured imaginations for generations, and now, through a beautifully curated line of Where the Wild Things Are merchandise, fans young and old can carry a piece of that wild, wonderful world with them.

A Story That Grew with Us
First published in 1963, Where the Wild Things Are was groundbreaking in its raw honesty and dreamlike visuals. It gave kids permission to feel anger, joy, rebellion, and longing—all while wrapping them in a fantastical jungle of horned beasts and wild rumpuses. Over the years, it’s become more than a children’s book—it’s a symbol of imagination, emotional depth, and the quiet power of returning home. The merchandise reflects that legacy, offering designs that are both nostalgic and freshly expressive.

Beloved Across Generations
With the success of the 2009 film adaptation and the continuous resurgence of illustrated classics, Where the Wild Things Are remains a touchstone for readers, artists, and dreamers. The fandom is full of people who grew up roaring their terrible roars and now want to pass that magic on—or reclaim it themselves. The merchandise allows just that: a wearable and livable homage to a story that shaped so many inner worlds.

Inside the Where the Wild Things Are Merchandise Collection
Available atwherethewildthingsare.shop, the collection features a wide range of items that capture the book’s visual charm and emotional nuance. Whether you're a lifelong Max or a wild thing at heart, the merchandise offers something for every mood.

Apparel for Wild Rumpuses
The clothing line includes cozy hoodies, vintage-washed T-shirts, and soft long sleeves in earthy tones—moss green, sand, midnight blue. Standout pieces include the “King of All Wild Things” pullover with Max in his crown, and a minimalist tee featuring line-drawings of the wild things themselves. Embroidered quotes like “Let the wild rumpus start!” appear subtly on sleeves and hems, adding a literary touch to streetwear style.

Artful Accessories
Accessories range from enamel pins of Max’s crown and boat to whimsical tote bags screen-printed with jungle scenes. There are canvas pouches that say “I’ll eat you up I love you so,” and socks decorated with wild creature footprints—subtle and nostalgic for fans who like their references understated yet meaningful.

Home Decor and Collectibles
Bring the wild home with art prints, throw pillows, and journals adorned with Sendak’s original illustrations. One of the most beloved items is a framed print of Max dancing with the wild things beneath a star-speckled sky, a quiet tribute to the book’s dreamlike escapism. There’s even a plush Max and Carol set—ideal for collectors or storytime snuggles.
