Book Reviews of In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)
Book Review: Not worth even 1 Star. Very strange. Should be trashed
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disturberd by this book. Should 3 grown men be looking at a naked little boy? I try to teach my children that this is bad. I would have liked the story, had my children not been looking at a anatomicly correctly drawn little boy. Not appropriate for this age group, unless you are ready to open discussions about childrens bodies.Book Review: A jewel of a book that will remain
Summary: 4 Stars
Telling the story again in rewiew does not convey the essence of this woderful book. Searching through my childhood memories when looking for an appropriate gift for my 3 yr old nephew, there was Mickey's dream. The essence of play, mystery, curiousness and fantasy. A memory........ of a little naked boy in a doughy plane, a milk bottle, a kitchen with a big spoon and a fat chef ...was all I could tell the sales assistant. 26 years later I could still remember this gorgeous story !Book Review: My six year old gives it two little thumbs up
Summary: 4 Stars
Those of you who like Maurice Sendak, will like this book, but dont expect any "wildthings". This story is full of the true joy of experiencing of a childs dreams. Mickey is an adventurer in the world of the night kitchen, he flies his own plane that he makes from dough. He is only too happy to assist the baking that goes on during the night so there will be cake in the morning. Mickeys wild adventure takes him out of his pajamas, he is quite naked throughout the story...talk about every little childs dream! Mickeys adventures are fun, and makes us want to have the same dream when we close our eyes at night. We should all remember how much joy the simple things can bring to us. The smile on Mickeys face says it all, happiness is easy to find, just close your eyes and dream.Book Review: Is that Oliver Hardy in the kitchen!?
Summary: 4 Stars
VERY cute story of a little boys dream. He goes to sleep and next thing you know he's bare bottomed and falling though space into the Night Kitchen. My 2 year old son got a real kick out of that! He ends up making a cake with cooks that look like Oliver Hardy! He has quite a big adventure looking for the milk for the morning cake. The art work is like a comic book, very clear and clean.Funny book , perfect for that "one more book" book.Book Review: Another Sendak Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
From the author and illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen takes you on a nocturnal foray into the fantasy kitchen world of a little boy named Mickey. Startled by a noise in the night, Mickey plummets into the "light of the night kitchen," where he flies through the air, falls into cake batter, zips through the milky way, and dives into milk. He saves the night by finding milk for the batter of the morning cake, prepared with vigor by the three rotund cooks who resemble Stan Hardy. Wonderfully narrated and beautifully illustrated, Sendak delivers an imaginative book worthy of its Caldecott Honor. That it takes place in the kitchen makes it a special book for parents who love to cook and want to pass on their enjoyment of the kitchen to their children.
