Maurice Sendak’s picture book faced many opponents immediately after its publication in 1963. Readers believed Where the Wild Things Are was psychologically damaging and traumatizing to young children due to Max’s inability to control his emotions and his punishment of being sent to bed without dinner. Psychologists called it “too dark”, and the book was banned largely in the south. It has also been challenged several times for its images of witchcraft and supernatural elements.
