Book Reviews of In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)
Book Review: Creative & Unusual...Dreamy
Summary: 5 Stars
I came upon this book by accident as an adult and fell in love with it before my kids did. I made it a point to buy it & now they love it too. I think Mickey's situation can be a bit frightening, depending on child, as he is almost baked into a cake. However, if you explain that Mickey is having a dream...not so weird or scary. Also, one of the best things about the book is that the kitchen world is created of things in a kitchen, like a cheese grater, boxes of food, etc. It is a book to be looked at and laughed at. Also, good when discussing dreams with young children. What Mickey dreams could be nightmarish (almost being cooked) but he ends up safe in his bed...just as any dream ends. It is refreshing & fun!Book Review: In The Night Kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
It continues to amaze me how much of my childhood I can't remember. All the lesson I've learned from my parents were taking in, whether I truly listened was a different issue entirely. So when I recently mentioned to them that I remember this book. They were surpirsed. They joked how they wish other things they had read or said to me would of stuck as well. I'm 32 now, and what I do remember most about my childhood is a full of books. In The Night Kitchen - is one of those. I remember loving it so much back then that I asked if they still had it. Surprised and grateful - the book remains in our family. I'm looking forward to reading it again. In that instant I become the child in the backseat. "Are we there yet..."Book Review: A great classic book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am the mother of 4 children and two grandchildren, I went to the local Barnes and Noble looking for this book today, because my oldest son wants this book for his 3 year old son. I was so sad to see they did not have it. It was one of the favorite for all four kids. I have laughed so much just watching my 4 kids laugh and have fun when they were reading this book! How could you not like this book? If my son, which is 27 remembers this story, and I tried to explain it to the clerk in the store today, and she gave me a very weird look, because I could not remember the title, but I did remember the story.... It is so nice to find it on Amazon and I am able to get it with prime before Christmas! Thank you Amazon!!Book Review: Don't let others sexual hang-ups keep you from sharing this
Summary: 5 Stars
In a very typical American move, the only complaint people seem tohave about this magical book is that the protagonist is sans clothing during a portion of the tale. So freaking what? Just what is it about an illustrated penis frightens you people? Is it going to corrupt your childrens fragile little minds? No, it will be YOU and your Victorian era morals that will cause them harm. I am so glad that none of my teachers had the incredible HUEVOS to dare and paint a diaper on Adam in The Creation. This is a dream people...the authors dream that he is sharing with us. I would love to see some of your dreams...bet you sometimes don't have pants on in yours, either.Book Review: My intact son adores this book
Summary: 5 Stars
My 18 month old son loves this book as does his 3 year old sister. (My son always points an Mickey's privates and excitedly yells "PENIS!" lol) It's a very creative story and it is beautifully illustrated.
Anyone who has a problem with the nudity must have some serious personal body issues his or herself. There is nothing "dirty" about the innocent way in which Mickey's nudity is presented. This book is about a dream Mickey had- and being nude in a dream is one of the most common dreams of the human race... that and of falling which Mickey also does. Besides, if he wore clothes, he'd get milk all over them. lol
