Book Reviews of In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)
Book Review: open a kids mind and heart
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids are 20 and 22 1/2... as though it were yesterday... we all loved it... it went back and forth being one and the others choice every other day. Our hope was to not give 'labels' or make any issue a concept dealing with alleged morality. We 'wanted' free thinkers. We were pretty run of the mill where the kids spent their first 7 and 9 years old... city school. The idea of banning a book is so bizarre to me anyway. It is a wonderful addition to any toddler/child's library.

When asked, Maurice Sendak insisted that he was not a comics artist, but an illustrator. However, it's hard to not notice comics aspects in works like In the Night Kitchen. The child of the story is depicted floating from panel to panel as he drifts through the fantastic dream world of the bakers' kitchen. Sendak's use of multiple panels and integrated hand-lettered text is an interesting contrast to his more traditional children's books containing single-page illustrations such as his wildly popular Where the Wild Things Are.
