his mother called him "WILD THING"
and Arlo said "I'LL EAT YOU UP!"
so he was sent to bed without eating anything.
That very night in Arlo's room a forest grew
and grew
and grew until his ceiling hung with vines
and the walls became the world all around
and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Arlo
and he sailed off through night and day
and in and out of weeks
and almost over a year
to where the wild things are.
And when he came to the place where the wild things are
they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
till Arlo said "BE STILL"
and tamed them with the magic trick
of staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once
and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all
and made him king of all wild things.
and made him king of all wild things.
"And now," cried Arlo, "let the wild rumpus start!"
"Now stop!" Arlo said and sent the wild things off to bed
without supper. And Arlo the king of all things was lonely
and wanted to be where someone loved him most of all.
Then all around from far away across the world
he smelled good things to eat
so he gave up being king of where the wild things are.
he smelled good things to eat

But the wild things cried, "Oh please don't go-
we'll eat you up-we love you so!"
And Arlo said, "NO!"
The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth
and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws
but Arlo stepped into his private boat and waved goodbye
and sailed back over a year
and in and out of weeks
and through a day
and into the night of his very own room
where he found his supper waiting for him
and it was still hot.
Arlo's outfit made from Kwik Sew 2919, I used cream flannel to make the suit and added covered buttons instead of a zip. The feet were made by sewing 4 little triangles and stuffing them than sewing them into the foot seam, hands were made by tracing the size of his mitten and adding little stuffed triangles than sewing to the cuff of the suit. The horns were again stuffed triangles of fabric hand sewn onto the hood and the tail was a piece of black feather boa cut to size and stitched on.
