Christopher Walken’s voice can be recognised with your eyes closed. It’s so original and wonderful.
So imagine the radness of him reading Where the Wild Things Are, which is only one of the greatest stories of all time.
“Walken’s interpolated commentary on the illustrations draws our attention to a few features we probably missed in our several hundred readings of the book, such as the possible suicide of Max’s teddy bear and a potential swarm of giant insects in his transformed bedroom.”
Walken makes the words and story come alive. It’s truly magical, and makes for a not so sweet bed time story.
