Book Reviews of In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)
Book Review: A FAVORITE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN! AWESOME AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has survived the test of time and is one of the favorites of my grandchildren and great grandchildren.
A highly unique concept of a boy who has a 'dream' experience in the night kitchen of a baker! Yummy dessert delights as well as a feast for the eyes ... the illustrations are out of this world ... and a feast for the ears ... the chantable text is delightful! Highly recommended for kids of all ages.

Book Review: My favorite book from childhood
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the few books I remember in detail from my childhood. It was the book I took to kindergarten show and tell and one of the first I wanted to read by myself. Now that I have a child of my own, I went looking for my copy, only to find it lost (so to speak). I'm buying this edition in hardcover because I know it will be loved by another generation. I can't say what particular aspect of this book captured me, but I can tell you I never make breakfast without thinking of "milk for the morning bread."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.Book Review: An ingenious children's story.
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is very different, and certainly not along the lines of modern banal garbage -- especially the predictable stuff you get from the TV show spin-off books. It is extremely and creative reflects a child's world, rather than an adult's. It has non-sexual nudity. It is a litle bizarre. And I have never seen a child that is not mesmerized by the enchantment of the Night Kitchen. Let the children have their imaginations creatively enhanced.Book Review: Sendak's Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
A lovely, imaginitive and unusual book. Sendak is miraculously able to tell a story -- in images, no less! -- as a child might experience it, be it dream or daydream or imaginary adventure. The exercise of the imagination is crucial to the development of inquiring young minds, and Sendak's book is a wonderful medium for that. Children understand it and love it. Adults may find it perplexing -- but hey, it wasn't written for THEM!
