The Kids Max Where The Wild Things Are Costume brings Maurice Sendak's beloved 1963 storybook character to life in full three-dimensional detail. This is the iconic wolf suit Max wears when he becomes King of the Wild Things — complete with his golden crown, whiskers, claws and mischievous spirit.
The white plush fleece jumpsuit features black striped whisker appliqués on the hood sides, sewn-on white button details down the front, and a soft 3D tail at the back. The standout gold metallic crown rises in three dramatic points above a brown faux-fur band, capturing the exact look from the original illustrations. Felt-tipped claw covers for hands and integrated boot covers with clawed toes complete the transformation into the wild rumpus leader.

Perfect For
Book Week & World Book Day: Max is a timeless literary character perfect for school Book Week parades, World Book Day celebrations, and classroom storybook character days. Teachers and parents instantly recognize the wild rumpus king.
Storybook & Themed Parties: Ideal for children's storybook-themed birthday parties, library reading events, imagination-themed celebrations, or any party where classic children's literature takes center stage.
Halloween & Dress-Up Events: The wolf suit design works beautifully for Halloween trick-or-treating, costume parties, or everyday imaginative play at home. The crown makes your child the king of any wild rumpus.
How to Wear It
Wear over regular clothing for warmth or directly over undergarments in milder weather. The boot covers slip over your child's regular shoes with elastic straps underneath to keep them in place during running and play. Hand covers sit over hands with elastic straps at the wrists, leaving fingers free for trick-or-treat bag holding or party snack grabbing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my child be able to move freely in this costume?
Yes — the plush fleece jumpsuit has a relaxed fit that allows running, sitting and climbing. The hand covers use elastic straps rather than full gloves, so fingers can move freely for holding books, eating snacks or waving to classmates.
Is the crown sturdy enough for active play?
The crown is constructed from metallic fabric over padding with a secure under-chin Velcro strap. It holds its three-pointed shape well during normal Book Week activities and party play, though we recommend removing it for rough outdoor games.
Will teachers recognize this character for Book Week?
Absolutely — Where The Wild Things Are is a beloved classic read in Australian schools and libraries since the 1960s. The gold crown and white wolf suit are instantly recognizable as Max, King of the Wild Things.
Do the boot covers stay on during walking?
Yes — elastic straps loop under your child's regular shoes to keep the padded boot covers in place. They work best over sneakers or flat school shoes rather than sandals.
How do I care for the plush fleece and metallic crown?
Spot clean the jumpsuit and hand covers with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Wipe the metallic crown gently with a soft cloth — avoid soaking. Hang to air dry flat; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Care: Spot clean with damp cloth; air dry flat.
