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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

Sendak's hero Mickey falls through the dark into the Night Kitchen where three fat bakers are making the morning cake. So begins an intoxicating dream fantasy, described by the artist himself as 'a fantasy ten feet deep in reality'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning picture book, 2 Mar 2007
By young man (uk) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: In the Night Kitchen (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic!, 9 Oct 2001
By A Customer
When I was little this book was called "Mickey in the Night Kitchen". The name has changed but the book is still magic. Charming and cheaky. Micky jumps out of bed and into the Night Kitchen where he flys a dough plane, gets chased by three bakers who look suspiciously like Oliver Hardy and dives naked into a bottle of milk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great work, 21 Mar 2007
This review is from: In the Night Kitchen (Hardcover)
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 with learning to read.
A masterpiece, deserves to be up there with "where the wild things are".
