Book Review: Loose Bases on Psychology
Summary: 5 Stars
First there's Where The Wild Things are in which Max makes the most of being sent to his room without supper by fantasizing via turning his bedroom into a forest both of which he can walk through as well as where he can board a boat to sail away to an island where he get's to become king of the wild things as well as still learn his lesson that he misses his homelife and wants to return to it.While with In the Night Kitchen in which Mickey both falls into a dream state and out of his pajamas and then into a dough suit & out. It's more than just symbolic of the state that most little kids like to be in the most whether or not it has to do with the parents possibly promoting it as Betty Jones' Shame on you! review of June 29,2002 does show us too.Also who says that the cooks are necessarily looking at him as another reviewer had indicated may be the impression that it may give. Also remember this book's copyright is 1970 when things were different here in the USA.While in the UK these things seemingly are the same then as now.Whether or not it's in a dream many times when little kids are at home it's the state that they're often in as Betty Jone's review also shows us.Also with their parents present and even when they're having company & whether it may concist of other grown ups and whether or not bigger kids may be present. Mickey being mixed into the batter etc. may be even more than somewhat nightmarish but he escapes it before his awakening when most people escape it via an awakening from their nightmare. There's also a Bugs Bunny cartoon in which upon arriving in France Bugs teaches one Chef after another how to cook Rabbit Stew making each one out to be a rabbit,mixes them in a pan,& yes litterally cooks them in the oven too & upon completion they each sing alouette while sprinking themselves with spoons.There's also another cartoon in which Bugs first fakes that the police are coming,hides the crooks in the oven & turns on the gas & throws in a lit match & then when the cops really come & the enactment is rehashed up until when they won't allow him to throw the lit match into the oven again & then they give themselves up & it ends with Bugs as a private eye(ball) so in conclusion in this book as in those cartoons little kids wouldn't take the theme of being litterally cooked in the oven serious and they know that it's only fiction too.Next there is Outside Over There of which truly does concist of both a nightmarish sequence of a baby being kidnapped by goblins as well as little girls running bare. These in conclusion are most significant of the state of which most little kids just as much act in,dream in,and get scared in as well.It was a blatant redundacy for anyone to say "If God..." because obviously all children are born that way.It's a Biblical Saying performed by Preachers that we first enter naked & then we exit naked.As heard at the end of the movie,Being There,based on the book,It's Sunday and Chance is in the Garden.It was both 7 1/2 years since I had bought In the Night Kitchen as well as 4 1/2 years since this guy had faded from the scene before I was about to give it to him that I had finally opened up,read,and looked through that copy of In The Night Kitchen that I'd first found out about the contents inside of this book and before this I had known of how this guy had went to a costume party as the bull creature,while his date had went as Max and yes that's true she really did too.This was the result of why I'd given this guy a number of the Maurice Sendak books of which I'd given to him before I was about to give In the Night Kitchen to him. As for Maurice Sendak's use of child psychology in these three books I give him The Big Thumb's Suck.Next if Maurice Sendak makes it to his birthday in '08 then he'll have reached the age of 80 years old. Speaking of birthdays check out his latest release of which I'd seen online at a bookstore & why I know how old that Maurice Sendak is. Now how much may there be more to say? But Yes this God Bless Mr.S. By the way this book came up on the 3/31/06 episode of Jeopardy!in the category of Author"S".

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.
