Adorable to the Max

Inspired by the classic 1963 children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are,” this sensational Halloween costume will have your mischief maker playing the character Max, “king of all wild things,” in no time. Manufactured by Pottery Barn Kids, it brings to life the imaginative boy, who is already disguised as a wolf. It’s made of soft polyester chamois with polycotton lining (for warmth and comfort), and it’s topped with a regal, shimmery crown. The separate, lined headpiece does not obscure a kid’s vision, increasing the odds that he will keep it on longer. Both the bodysuit and headpiece have Velcro closures, so the costume is easy to put on and take off. It’s a beautiful tribute to beloved “Wild Things” author-illustrator Maurice Sendak, who died in May at age 83, to unleash the latest generation of his fans (sized 12-24 months, 2-3T, and 4-6) disguised as one of his best-known characters for a Halloween rumpus.
