Where the Wild Things Are Paraphernalia Galore

When a trailer for the upcoming cine-adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are debuted online this spring it caused a minor sensation, with everyone going nuts about its use of an Arcade Fire song and the decidedly non-CGI looking creatures. Although we were frankly disappointed by the Dave Eggers-penned Away We Go we're still genuinely excited; because, luckily, Spike Jonze is no Sam Mendes. In fact we haven't been this anxious to see a book-to-movie project since ... well, Wes Anderson's upcoming Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Though WTWTA won't be released until October, courtesy of the Chicago-based American Library Association you can get your hands on some really cool posters and bookmarks which use art from the upcoming movie. They're reasonably priced and help fund literacy and library advocacy programs.
