Book Reviews of In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)
Book Review: Can you recite this book by heart?
Summary: 5 Stars
When we got In the Night Kitchen for our girls, I thought they'd be frightened by a boy awakened by strangers in the kitchen. Silly me! They loved it! My husband and I could recite the whole book, which is a wonderfully rhythmic poem. Now I'm introducing it to my 2-year-old grandson. Soon he'll be joining in with "...QUIET DOWN THERE!" Great art and great writing. A satisfying read for the teddy bear set!Book Review: A Multi-generational classic
Summary: 5 Stars
In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak was one of the books that we read over and over and over again to our children. All of us can quote much of it by heart. My son (now 30) was a daredevil from day one and he especially identified with this book. This copy was purchased for our newest granddaughter's 1st birthday, who is already a climber and looks like she might become another Mickey aficionado.Book Review: This was one of my favorites as a kid, enjoy now as a parent too
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a very visceral book. Those books stay with me forever. The naked boy bit makes it more so, and I have always enjoyed that. How can nakedness and dough and floating around not be interesting and impressionable, encouraging imagination and fostering a love for reading and art? This was one of my favorite books growing up, and my 3 year old son has enjoyed it too, since he was 1 in fact.Book Review: My daughter loves this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with the other reviews, this book is strange at first glance. However, my 2 year old daughter absolutely loves it and has memorized the entire book. The phrasing was a little odd and the flow of the rhyming words and non-rhyming words was hard to read at first. That being said, it's far from an "LSD trip" and closer to something that appeals to little ones with active imaginations.Book Review: The Good With The Bad
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my favorite book growing up, and now that I've got a couple of young nephews, I thought perhaps it could be theirs too. I ordered it in time for Christmas, but then didn't receive it until a day or two after. Didn't end up giving them the book- maybe in the future.
No reason not to get the book though. Just plan in advance if you want to gift it.
