The Book - Where the Wild Things Are
by Maurice SendakOf course the book is a classic, but that wouldn't be worth a hill of beans if my kids didn't like it. But they do! At three Little Page had it completely memorized. Seriously, it was the cutest thing in the world hearing her recite "They woawed theiw tewwible woaws and showed theiw tewwible claws and gnashed theiw tewwible teeth!"

PS - Just noticed that Maurice Sendak also illustrated the "Little Bear" books. My son has just become a big fan of Little Bear and I was happily surprised! I just love children's book with great art.
