Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Possibly the coolest colouring book I've ever seen, this is the complete In the Night Kitchen printed in black-and-white line art so that readers can add their own colours. Unlike many colouring books that contain pages of poorly rendered poster art, this offers beautiful lines to colour within and a comic book-like story structure that's interesting enough to reread after it's been coloured.

I first read this book, over 25 years ago, and it had me thrilled then and it still does. Sendak has a way of bringing out your night time journeys under the duvet with that torch and your midnight snack, and he knows what you want. The colourful pictures bring out the imagination to its full vivid glory. There is a Max in all of us. Thank you Maurice for giving company to a child and thank you for keeping that child always there. It's a must for all children of all ages, you too granma :-)

Husband and I don't get this book, we both feel we're missing something. Clearly we're wrong though, 7 year old and 2 year old are either reading it themselves or asking for it several times every day!

This book is the second in the "loose trilogy" which follows on from where the wild things are, it is a VERY loose connection and definitely not the wild things mark 2.
Every child I have read this to has been totally engaged by it, there are no monster pictures (like where the wild things are and Outside over there) to scare a young child and so is lovely to read before bed. I would particularly recommend it to a young child as they will loose themselves in the pictures and love the flow of the text and won't care that it doesn't make all that much sense.

Love it!
Our 3-year-old loves it, and knows it so well she can say most of the words. Also makes a great birthday present for friend's children.

Fantastic art work, you would expect this from Sendak, a dreamy story which is easy for the young child to learn by heart and lots of repetition and small phonetic words to help... Read more
