Where the wild things are

I read an article that talked about the pacing of where the wild things are. The article said the pacing was a perfect example of text and illustrations working together effectively. I have been reading the book and agree. It seems like an example of simplicity and careful consideration of page breaks. The text is not part of the illustration and does not seem overly broken up. On top of that the illustrations do not attempt to say the exact same thing as the text, they are linked but add more meaning and a setting for the story to be told. On one page Max calls for the party to start and there is a look of excitement and anticipation on the wild things faces. The pace is consistent throughout and does not feel jumpy moving from scene to scene.
