Wild Things
Wild Things: The Joy of Reading Children’s Literature as an Adult by Bruce Handy is a thoughtful tour through classic children’s books—from Goodnight Moon and Where the Wild Things Are to middle grade and YA favorites. Handy revisits these works with humor and insight, exploring why they matter, what they reveal about childhood, and how they shape our ideas about family, imagination, and growing up. Parents and educators appreciate that it’s both literary criticism and love letter, giving them fresh eyes on stories they may be reading aloud every night. It’s an excellent companion for adults curating a home library or homeschooling with picture books and classics.
