Evaluative Criteria:
Visual Element: Texture
This story gives an excellent demonstration of texture. The illustrations use of fine lines, and color help to create the texture of the pictures. The details on the tail on Max’s wolf outfit, the fur of the wild things, the trees of the magical forest give the readers that sensory feeling as if it can be touched.
Evaluative
Criteria: Setting
The illustrations shown in Where the Wild Things Are show
how the setting changes throughout the story.
In the beginning the story takes place with Max in his bedroom. Trees
start to appear and the forest begins to grow, until the bedroom is no longer
visible. Eventually as the story progresses the bedroom walls have disappeared
and Max ends up in a magical forest. The setting is crucial to the story
because it allows the story comes full circle.
