Book Reviews of In the Night Kitchen
Book Review: Great to encourage early reading
Summary: 4 Stars
The plot is weird, yes, but encourages some good plot discussion between preschooler and parent. For instance, "Do you think this really happened, or was it just a dream?" The hand drawn (so nice to see in this computer type age) letters are attractive and much larger than you usually see in a picture book for preschoolers. The rich colors in the artwork is beautiful. Better than in Where the Wild Things Are. The detail in the pictures is beautiful. You can see the brush strokes, pen strokes and lines. The visual richness and the typography makes the story and words more compelling to a child, I think. We have four packed shelves of children's books and this is the first book that has encouraged my just turned three daughter to start pointing to words and demanding me to sound them out. She wants to read it every night. This is one of the first steps towards reading and literacy, so I am grateful. Yes, if you have a very vivid imagination you could see some sexual theme. Before he wakes up from his dream, the naked boy yells "Cock a Doodle Doo" at one point. I had to stifle a snicker. However, a child will remain innocent of any imagined sexual content if you don't mention it and don't let it become a point of obsession for you.
