Where the Wild Things Are

Why is it banned in so many schools?

My teacher said there is really deep allegory behind it but online it seems pretty normal.

There are many reasons why his book was banned from libraries, schools and even homes when it came out. People in the south were the first to start pulling the book off shelves in libraries and schools. His book was thought to be too frightening, a story of rebellion, fear, punishment and escape were too much for young children.
