And Gnashed Their Terrible Teeth

The first time I was told I was going to be making a blog I thought of Jenna from the TV show Awkward. For those of you who have not seen it it's about a girl who is struggling her way through high school with boy drama, mean girls, and crazy friends. Once I started reflecting on that it got me thinking about how much I miss being a little kid. All teenagers lives have this type of insanity on a daily basis, and what all of us wouldn't give to go back to how things used to be.

As a teenager, you're expected to enjoy young adult books like Twilight and The Hunger Games. While these books are fun to read sometimes, the book that I miss reading the most is Where the Wild Things Are. This book is not just a favorite of mine, but helped me learn how to read. It's simplistic sentences eased me into reading and did not overwhelm me with too many words on a page. I am assuming that this book did not only help me, but other English speaking kids as well. Considering that this book has been turned into a movie I think it is appropriate to infer that other kids are enjoying this book.
